History

Named after Bruno Township, after an early hotel owner there,^[7] the city of Bruno was incorporated on August 29, 1903. Before, the Eastern Railway Company of Minnesota operated a station in 1887 known as Mansfield Station, a village owned and platted by Fitzhugh Burns. Post office service began in 1896. Because many of the early settlers were from Czechoslovakia, the city may also have been named for Brno, a village in the Czech Republic.

Community

Bruno is a small town, intersected by Minnesota State Highway 23. The town has three churches, a U.S. Post Office (ZIP code 55712), an auto repair shop, a thrift store, volunteer fire department, and a tavern. The tavern offers limited food and drinks, but has recently added free Wi-Fi wireless internet service, which one isn't likely to find for free between North Branch and Duluth (as of late 2014 the tavern has been destroyed in a fire but in Spring 2015 their plans to rebuild were announced via their Facebook page). There is also a small park for travelers to park and rest with restrooms; and a well for fresh water. Bruno is also home to Nemadji Research Corporation.
