Georgeville is a small, quiet community located in Stearns County, Minnesota, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of a larger area called Crow River Township, rather than having its own city government.
You can find Georgeville along State Highway 55. It's near where this highway meets County Road 69 and 393rd Avenue. The community is also close to the town of Belgrade.
A Glimpse into Georgeville's Past
In the 1970s, Georgeville became known for a special community that lived there. This group helped start something important called the "co-op movement" in Minnesota.
What is a Co-op Movement?
A co-op, or cooperative, is a business or organization owned and run by its members. These members work together for their shared benefit. For example, a food co-op might be owned by the people who buy groceries there. The Georgeville community helped inspire this idea across Minnesota, changing how some people buy food and other goods today.
