Founded in 1832 as Stallostown (for its founder Francis Stallo), the village changed its name to Minster in 1836 (after the heavily Roman Catholic region of Münster in Westphalia, from which many of the settlers came). Minster was founded as part of Mercer County, but it was given to Auglaize County when it was created in 1848. [6] It was mostly comprised from the beginning by German settlers coming from Cincinnati by way of the Miami-Erie Canal bringing their farming skills and Catholic faith with them. Most of the roads in Minster were originally named after places in Germany and surrounding areas. For example, Webster St. was known as Berlin St.. It was named after Berlin, Germany. Hamilton St. was known as Vienna St., and it was named after Vienna, Austria, Jefferson St. was known as Oldenburg St., and it was named for Oldenburg, Germany. [7] A Yearly Oktoberfest is celebrated commending Minster's vast history and German roots.
