Center City, Minnesota, established in 1851 by Anders Swenson, is known for being the first permanent Swedish settlement in the state. As the county seat of Chisago County since 1875, it has a rich cultural heritage and a small-town charm that attracts both residents and visitors alike.

The village has historical significance, being the setting for Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg's epic novels, "The Emigrants," and served as the backdrop for the wedding scene in the film "Grumpy Old Men." Center City is also acknowledged as a Sister City to Hassela, Sweden, reflecting its strong ties to its Swedish roots.
