Nestled in a picturesque setting in a valley along the North branch of the middle fork of the Zumbro River, generations of Mantorville citizens have been careful to record and preserve the abundance of Minnesota and US History left in their care. Mantorville is listed, along with other historic locations, in the National Registry of Historic Places. The rich history is evident by the limestone buildings in its historic downtown area. Many of the original limestone building remain viable to the community. The Mantorville Opera House, built in 1918 with locally quarried limestone, entertained traveling troops and medicine shows through the 1920's. In 1973 the Mantorville Theatre Company was formed and has performed melodramas every summer since. The melodramas are held Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the summer.

Local industries are in the form of farm services and printing. A grain elevator is situated next to the rail line that runs through town, which is owned by the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad. Schmidt Printing is another major company in town and is part of Taylor Corporation, founded by Glen Taylor. The city received its name at the suggestion of George W. Van Dusen, who desired the name to be derived from his home town of Port Byron, New York. Van Dusen grew his fortune with his investments in grain elevators along railroad lines. The Byron area had apparently been known as Bear Grove before being renamed, supposedly because there were one or more bears living in the vicinity early on. The school mascot for Byron is a bear, in recognition of that story. Byron has one of the major parks in the county, Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo. The zoo has dozens of animals from thirty different native species, including a number of birds, a mountain lion, wolves, otters, and some bison. Byron is home to two golf courses. Someby Golf club and Community is a private golf club and community, located on the north side of the city. Links of Byron is on the south side of Byron, and is a 9-hole executive length public golf course.

Dodge Center is famous for Garwin Mcneilus Wind Farms and the largest employer in Dodge Center, McNeilus Steel, a manufacturer of ready-mixed concrete mixer trucks, garbage trucks, and related apparatus. McNeilus is a division of Oshkosh Corporation. The city is located along the mainline of the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad, a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific. This east-west line had been owned by the Chicago and North Western Railway until the 1980s when DM&E was formed. Dodge Center also used to be on the Chicago Great Western mainline which ran south from St. Paul down through Iowa and across to Chicago, Illinois. There were at least three train stations built in the town over the years. Two of these still exist. Dodge Center is also the hometown of multi-personality Sybil. The locals can tell you where her childhood home is located. The real Sybil, Shirley Ardell Mason, was born here in 1923 and graduated from Dodge Center High School in 1941.
