★ Since at least 1898, the area where St. Cloud is located has been called "The Holyland" because of the 10 parishes that were established there within close proximity of one another by German Catholic immigrants who arrived between 1841 and 1870. In addition to St. Cloud, the communities are Calvary, Charlesburg, Jericho, Johnsburg, Marytown, Mount Calvary, St. Anna, St. Joe., and St. Peter. The churches were founded by missionary Reverend Casper Rehrl. ★ At the turn of the 19th century, the village slogan was "St. Cloud, the city of tomorrow".
