When Minnesota was a territory, commissioners were hired by the territorial government to be recruiters for people to come to Minnesota. Many people and organizations took up this cause hoping to entice settlers to come and help work the land and take advantage of other business opportunities. Land offices, like these, in 1857-58, were set up as bases to support this work and to help new arrivals.
