Driving Around Small Town Winona, Minnesota in 4k Video

Filmed on Tuesday, August 15 2023, I drive around the village Winona, MN to see what's going on.

The city is named after Winona, a figure in a Sioux legend.

European immigrants settled the area in 1851 and laid out the town into lots in 1852 and 1853. The original settlers were immigrants from New England.

The population increased from 815 in December, 1855, to 3,000 in December, 1856.

Between 1859 and 1900, some 5,000 Poles and closely related Kashubians emigrated to Winona, making up one quarter of the population. Since 80% of them were Kashubians, Winona became known as the "Kashubian Capital of America".

For a time, Winona had more millionaires than any other city of its size in the United States.

As of the census of 2020, there were 25,948 people residing in the city, down from 27,592 in 2010.

The racial makeup of the city was 89.3% White, 2.8% Black or African American, 2.2% Asian, 0.3% Native American, 1.3% from other races, and 4.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.2% of the population.
