Rushford Village is a city in Fillmore County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 807 at the 2010 census. It surrounds the city of Rushford.

History

Rushford Village was first organized as Rushford Township. As a township, it was organized in 1858, and named after Rush Creek. During this period the City of Rushford incorporated as a city, so it became a separate municipal entity from Rushford Township. On July 18, 1885, Rushford Township incorporated as a village and in 1909 the village of Peterson (completely surrounded by Rushford Village) also incorporated as a village. However, a state law passed in 1973 declared all villages to be cities, so in May 1975 Rushford Village became an incorporated city.
