After the region was originally settled by the Dakota and Anishinabe Indians, the first white settlers settled in the area of today's city in the middle of the 19th century. One of them was Joseph B. Sartell , who settled here in 1854. After initially working as a worker in a sawmill, he built his own flour mill on a nearby river in 1877. In 1884, Sartell founded the Sartell Brothers Lumber Company with his sons .
Between 1905 and 1907 a weir was built on the Mississippi to generate energy for the Watab Pulp and Paper Company that was built at the same time . The paper mill that is now Verso Paper Corp. heard, was and is the city's largest employer.
In 1907 the local self-government of the "Village of Sartell" was formed. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to change the name of the place. But the descendants of Joseph B.

The most famous was Ripley B. Sartell , who was mayor for 31 years.
