Mankato is a city in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, that was established by settlers moving west in 1852. It is also the county seat of Blue Earth County. Mankato is situated at the meeting of the Minnesota and Blue Earth Rivers; early settlers were directed to the area because of its beauty, its suitability for building structures and greeting river traffic, and because it was less prone to flooding than other areas. The area around Mankato has been a frequent setting in popular culture, appearing as a trading town in the TV series Little House on the Prairie. It also served as the heroine's hometown in the 1920 novel Main Street by Sinclair Lewis and as the basis or inspiration for the fictitious Deep Valley in the children's literature series Betsy-Tacy by author Maud Hart Lovelace.
