Finkle is a small place located in Clay County, in the state of Minnesota in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it's managed as part of the larger Clay County.
A Look Back in Time
The community of Finkle was named after a person called Henry G. Finkle. He was a "pioneer merchant," which means he was one of the first business owners to settle and open a store in this area a long time ago.
