Wilno, Minnesota

Wilno is an unincorporated community (Class Code U6) located in Lincoln County, Minnesota, United States. The population is estimated at 5.
Wilno was laid out in 1883 on land bought from the Chicago and Northwestern railroad to create a Polish settlement. Bishop John Ireland, working with the railroads of the western United States, resettled Catholic immigrants from east coast cities to farmland near the railroads. The settlers named the town after Wilno, Poland (now Vilnius, Lithuania).〔 St. John Cantius Church was established in the town in the same year.
When the railroad attempted to buy land for right-of-way, two Wilno farmers refused the amount offered. So the railroad was built through what became the town of Ivanhoe instead. Even though the railroad offered to help pay to move the new church building being constructed, the church stayed in Wilno.〔 The town remained a tiny Catholic settlement.〔
The centennial for the church was celebrated in 1983. At that time Wilno consisted of the church, two stores, and 10 households.
