History: 

The community retains a rich heritage from the early settlers, a band of German immigrants. First settled in 1832, by Francis Joseph Stallo and six other men acting as agents for a group of ninety-seven young German settlers, the Village of Minster today has a population slightly exceeding 2,794 persons.

The early settlers bought the 640 acres for $800.00 in silver. Trees were gradually felled, streets laid out, and the site was divided into 144 lots, which made up the village of Stallostown. In July of 1833 Stallo died suddenly, and three years later the town was renamed Minster.
