Rieber

Rieber is a small town located in the state of Minnesota, United States. It is situated in the southeastern part of the state, approximately 15 miles east of the city of Rochester. The town is named after the Rieber family, who were early settlers in the area. Rieber was officially incorporated as a city in 1888.

The town has a population of around 1,500 residents, according to the most recent census data. The local economy is primarily driven by agriculture, with corn and soybeans being the main crops. There are also several small businesses in the area, including a grocery store, a hardware store, and a few restaurants.

Rieber is known for its strong sense of community and its annual Fourth of July celebration, which attracts thousands of visitors each year. The town also has a public library, a community center, and a park with playgrounds and sports facilities.

The town's history is closely tied to the railroad, which played a significant role in its development. The Minnesota and Western Railroad, which later became part of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, passed through Rieber in the late 19th century.
