Mantorville is a city located in Dodge County, Minnesota. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 1,054. It is the county seat of Dodge County6. Founded in 1854, the city is one of the oldest in Minnesota. It is known as the source of Mantorville limestone, which found its way into buildings across the United States. Mantorville shares a school district with nearby Kasson, Minnesota (the "K-M Komets").
The limestone quarried in the area was soft and easily carved when first extracted, but became harder in following years, making it a long-lasting building material. The Dodge County Courthouse, the oldest working courthouse in Minnesota, was made of the stone in 1871, and the historic Hubbell House used the stone in 1856.
Mantorville is named for Peter and Riley Mantor, brothers who came to the city in 1853. The city was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
