The RM of St. Peter No. 369 was largely settled during the early 20th century by German-American Roman Catholics from Stearns County, Minnesota.[5]
St. Peter's Abbey began in 1903 with the arrival of seven Benedictine monks under the obedience of Peter Engel O.S.B. the abbot of Saint John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota. The monks established parishes and were able to serve local congregations due to their knowledge of the distinctive Stearns County dialect of the German language.[6]
St. Peter was incorporated as a rural municipality on December 11, 1911.[2]
