1. In 1862, the US-Dakota War came to an end with the surrender of Dakota Chief Mankato. The conflict between the Dakota people and the United States government had been ongoing for years, with tensions coming to a head in August of 1862 when a group of Dakota warriors attacked white settlers in southern Minnesota. The conflict would ultimately result in the deaths of hundreds of Dakota people, as well as many settlers and soldiers.

2. In 1917, the first woman was elected to public office in Minnesota. Clara Ueland was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives, where she served for two terms. Ueland was a prominent suffragist and advocate for women's rights, and her election was seen as a major milestone for women's political participation in the state.

3. In 1948, the first television broadcast in Minnesota was made from the WCCO-TV studios in Minneapolis. The broadcast featured a variety of local content, including news and live performances, and marked the beginning of a new era in entertainment and communication in Minnesota.

4. In 1965, the Minnesota Twins won their first American League pennant, advancing to the World Series for the first time in the team's history. Led by sluggers Harmon Killebrew and Tony Oliva, the Twins would ultimately lose to the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games, but their historic run to the World Series would remain a point of pride for fans for many years to come.

5. In 1982, the Minnesota Vikings played their first game in the newly-built Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. The stadium, which would become the team's home for the next 30 years, was known for its distinctive white roof and inflatable design, and hosted numerous memorable moments in Vikings history, including two NFC Championship victories in 1998 and 2009. However, the Metrodome's lifespan was ultimately limited by structural issues, and it was replaced by U.S. Bank Stadium in 2014.
