Emergency Preparedness
The City of Foley works closely with county, state and federal agencies, such as Benton County Emergency Management, Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It is our goal to inform citizens of potential natural or man made hazards, prepare for disasters, mitigate against hazards, respond in times of need and assist in the recovery from disasters,
We encourage all residents to develop an individual and family plan for emergency preparedness. Please visit the website below for useful information on preparing for emergencies.

Foley, the county seat of Benton County, was named for one of several brothers who came from Canada in the early 1880's. It was John Foley, whose many contributions helped build the town which became incorporated in 1900. Shortly after, in 1902 after a struggle with Sauk Rapids, Foley was named the seat of Benton County. Once a lumbering community, Foley later progressed into a farming community and continued to grow.
