History

St. Vincent, which is directly across the Red River from Pembina, was initially incorporated in 1857, [6] just prior to statehood. In 1878, the St. Paul & Pacific Railroad line reached St. Vincent and opened the area to settlement. With the railroad coming through, settlers began arriving to stake their claims. Many of the earliest settlers to what would become Pembina and St. Vincent were Métis, going back to the late 18th century.

The community is the westernmost community in Minnesota. It is situated on the banks of the Red River of the North, in the Red River Valley. It grew from one of the oldest settlements in the region, when it was part of an early fur-trading post established by Peter Grant in 1793. The city of Pembina, North Dakota borders it on the west, across the Red River of the North.

Minnesota Highway 171, U.S. Highway 75, 8th Street, and Pacific Avenue are four of the main routes in and around the community.
