About Evansville

Evansville is a quiet, close-knit town of around 600 people in west-central Minnesota's Douglas County. Surrounded by rolling farmland and scattered lakes, it offers a peaceful rural pace while still keeping you within an easy drive of Alexandria for bigger shopping trips and amenities. Originally established as a railroad stop in the late 1800s, the community has held onto its relaxed, neighborly feel.

Evansville Historical Foundation

Everyday life here is all about neighbors looking out for each other. A great example is the town's cooperative grocery store, which offers 24/7 self-service access so residents always have essentials nearby without having to drive into the city. Along with a local arts center, nearby fishing spots, and a friendly atmosphere, Evansville provides a comfortable spot to settle down and enjoy small-town living.
