Airlie is a small, unincorporated community in the state of Minnesota, United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.
Airlie is located in Sweet Township, which is part of Pipestone County. You can find it near Minnesota State Highway 30. It's situated between the towns of Pipestone, Minnesota and Egan, South Dakota, just one mile east of the Minnesota-South Dakota state line.
History of Airlie
Airlie was officially planned and marked out on a map in 1879. This process is called "platting." The community was named after the Earl of Airlie, a noble title from Scotland.
A post office opened in Airlie in 1882. This was an important place for people to send and receive mail. The post office served the community for many years, but it closed down in 1934.
