About Center City, Minnesota

Center City is a city and the county seat of Chisago County, Minnesota, United States. Center City was platted in 1857, and named from its location roughly halfway between Chisago City and Taylors Falls. A post office was established as Centre City in 1858, and the name was changed to Center City in 1893. Center City was the setting of Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg's epic novels The Emigrants, written and published in four volumes between 1949 and 1959, and made into two feature films in 1972 and 1974.
