==History== The original settlement on the south side of the Zumbro River dates back to 1857. A [[grist-mill]] [[dam]] built in 1866 created the falls for which the town is named. Numerous floods have swept away all but a few traces of the dam. Frequent flooding and a [[tornado]] prompted relocation to the north of the river. A [[railroad]] arrived in the relocated settlement in 1881. The city was incorporated in 1898. In September 2010, the city was flooded again, and evacuated.<ref>{{cite news |title=Zumbro Falls swallowed by floodwaters, residents evacuated|newspaper=[[Rochester Post-Bulletin]]|date=2010-09-24|url=http://www.postbulletin.com/newsmanager/templates/localnews_story.asp?z=2&a=471091|access-date=2010-09-25}}</ref> Many buildings were destroyed or damaged.<ref>{{cite news |title=In flood-damaged cities, no place is home|newspaper=[[Rochester Post-Bulletin]]|date=2010-09-26|url=http://www.postbulletin.com/newsmanager/templates/localnews_story.asp?z=2&a=471286|access-date=2010-09-27}}</ref> The city contains two properties listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]: the 1937 [[Zumbro Parkway Bridge]] and the 1938 [[Bridge 5827]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Minnesota National Register Properties Database |url=http://www.mnhs.org/preserve/nrhp/ |publisher=Minnesota Historical Society |year=2009 |access-date=2018-02-11}}</ref>
