Le Sueur Attractions

Le Sueur (pop. 4,000) was named for Pierre Charles Le Sueur, a 17th C explorer of the Minnesota River Valley. The town began as three small settlements named Le Sueur, Middle Le Sueur and Le Sueur City, which were united in 1867 by the Minnesota Legislature.

The Green Giant Company was established here in 1903 as the Minnesota Valley Canning Company. In 1950, its name was changed to Green Giant Company. The original plant and warehouse were in operation from 1903 until February, 1995.
