This Is the Oldest Town in Every U.S. State

MINNESOTA: WABASHA, EST. 1830

Wabasha was established in 1830, though it has been continuously occupied since 1826.

Some believe Stillwater, Minnesota, is the state’s oldest town because it was incorporated in 1854, while Wabasha wasn’t incorporated until 1858. But according to the year of first settlement, the Second Treaty of Prairie du Chien drafted in 1830 establishes that Wabasha preceded it.
