About Byron (Minnesota)
Byron has a long and glorious history stretching way back to around the 1890s, when the tiny railroad post was still calledBear Creek(pronounced "crick"). It got this name because a farmer thought he saw a bear once down in a little creek that flows through the outskirts of town. Resident Byronians keep this fascinating tradition alive by painting everything school-related with sweeping murals of majestic black bears and erecting awe-inspiring sculptures to the beast. Tourists should be open-minded, however; this is by no means considered by locals to be idol worship or to weaken their steadfast following of the Christian faith.
