Salt Springs Lands Records. 1858-1915.

http://www.mnhs.org/library/findaids/gr00652.xml

Records documenting the creation and administration of the state's salt springs lands, public lands granted in the state's February 26, 1857 enabling legislation. The lands themselves or the proceeds from their sale were to be used for salt spring development. Over time it became clear that no great quantity of salt would be found in the state and the lands eventually were placed under control of the University of Minnesota.
