Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Montgomery, MN

Montgomery is a city in Le Sueur County, Minnesota, about 45 miles south of Minneapolis, named for Richard Montgomery, the Irish-American major general killed in the Revolutionary War.

Montgomery was platted in 1877 when the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad was extended to that point.

Montgomery proudly calls itself the "Kolacky Capital of the World," after the Czech fruit-filled pastry, and its motto is the Czech greeting "Vitame Vas."

The city celebrates its Czechoslovak heritage with Kolacky Days at the end of July, one of Minnesota's oldest festivals: the first Kolacky Day was held on October 1, 1929, drawing an estimated 6,000 visitors, and more than 1,600 kolacky were devoured.

Montgomery also hosts the Masopust Festival, known as "The Czech Mardi Gras," and the Miss Czech-Slovak Minnesota Pageant.

The population of Montgomery was 3,249 at the 2020 census, up from 261 in 1880, with 1,350 households counted in 2020.

Seneca Foods (formerly Green Giant) operates a large freezing and canning facility in Montgomery, and the shift of Kolacky Days to summer was made partly at the canning company's urging to avoid the busy corn-processing season.

Montgomery is home to Tri-City United High School, whose teams are the Titans, and to the Most Holy Redeemer Catholic School, whose teams are the Raiders.

Two Montgomery buildings, the Westerman Lumber Office and House and Hilltop Hall, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Montgomery Mallards amateur baseball team plays its home games at Memorial Field in Memorial Park and has reached the Minnesota state tournament multiple times, most recently in 2022.
