Welcome to Wheaton, Minnesota

Wheaton can be found where Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota meet, and is centrally located to experience the unique geography of the Red River Valley, Continental Divide, and long-melted glacial Lake Agassiz.

Close to Lake Traverse, Wheaton offers walleye fishing, goose, pheasant, duck, and deer hunting – and, more recently, turkey and coyote.  Blogger Ivars Krafts has captured awesome pictures of the wildlife outside of Wheaton, featured on his blog.

Although many of Wheaton’s jobs are agricultural, the town hosts countless successful, entrepreneurial ventures.  The Wheaton Economic Development Authority supports both large and small businesses, and is currently promoting the manufacturing industry through the availability of large, functional buildings to lease or purchase.

►LGA is Vital to Wheaton!
Local overnment Aid (LGA) is vital to our City's operations. The City of Wheaton lost $47,781 in 2008, $33,000 in 2009 and $82,500 in 2010. In 2011, the legislature cut $67,600 in LGA and $40,728 in reimbursements – for a total cut this year of $108,328.  As a result, at least one full-time and one part-time position has been left vacant, and the City has cancelled capital improvement projects and equipment purchases and numerous projects.

The City of Wheaton is governed by Councilors Shane Ayres, Anita Antrim, Judith Larson, Edward Rikimoto and Mayor Leonard Zimmel. The Wheaton City Council typically meets the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at 7 pm at the Wheaton Community Library.
