Editing Ronneby, Minnesota (section)

==History==
Ronneby was incorporated on August 31, 1899. It was originally named Saint Francis, but changed when the post office was established in 1897, because that name was already in use. Ronneby had its own post office from 1897 to 1973.<ref>[http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp ''U.S. Post Offices'']</ref>

In the early 20th century, Ronneby was at its height, featuring a hotel, a newspaper, a lumber mill, and three stores.<ref>{{cite news|title=Ronneby, Minn., fades--but not without fight|last=Marohn|first=Kirsti|work=St. Cloud Times}}</ref> It was an incorporated city until May 4, 2009.
