Renville,MN - Renville County - 1904 - Street View Photograph :
This is a crisp panoramic of a quiet town. Photograph measures 15 1/2”x4 1/2”, beige single matte—there is a minor crease on the lower right and general wear on the corners 18”x4 1/4”, high contrast—tends a bit to the grays, and the focus is sharp. Numerous businesses can be identified, including the studio of H. P. Kelly, Photographer. Business stamp on the back has been worn, but possibly a photographer from Minneapolis by the name of Brown. Renville is located east of Granite Falls near the Minnesota River Valley. The city and county was named after Joseph Renville. He founded Fort Renville and served as Captain during the war of 1812. The town has prospered over the years due to agribusiness associated with the fertile valley in which it is situated.
