Constance, Minnesota facts for kids

Constance was a small, old community that used to be in Anoka County, Minnesota, in the United States. It was never officially a city or town, which means it was an "unincorporated community." Today, the land where Constance once stood is part of the city of Andover. It's like a forgotten village, with very few signs left that it was ever there.
