Highland is a small place in Fillmore County, Minnesota. It's called an "unincorporated community" because it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's part of the wider county area.
History of Highland
Highland has a short but interesting history. A post office was opened here in 1857. This was a place where people could send and receive mail. The post office stayed open for many years. However, it closed down in 1902. The community got its name "Highland" because it is located in a high place.
