Fortuna served as the county seat for Buchanan County, Minnesota. By 1887, it had 200 residents. Just north of Fortuna, the ''Village of Sandstone'' was platted in June 1887 and incorporated on September 28, 1887. On April 14, 1920, the villages of Fortuna and Sandstone merged and re-incorporated as the City of Sandstone.〔Upham, Warren. (1920; repr. 1991)''Minnesota Place Names'' St. Paul: Minnesota Historical Society Press.〕 The city's name in the Ojibwe language is ''Asinikaaning'', meaning "At the quarrying place" due to the sandstone quarry located at the edge of the city. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sandstone, Minnesota」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
