White settlers began to arrive in the mid-1840s. In 1849, the Little Falls Mills and Land Company was formed, a dam was built, and the little falls became a source of electric power. Soon, three other dams were built, powering a succession of companies, including the Pine Tree Lumber Company. Little Falls is the location of the boyhood home of Charles Lindbergh, whose father was a prominent Minnesota lawyer and US congressman. The city is host to several annual events, such as the Little Falls Dam Festival, the Little Falls Arts and Crafts Fair, the Little Falls Antiques and Collectibles Fair, the Lone Eagle Auto Club Car Show, the Morrison County Fair, and the Greater Minnesota Two-Cylinder Club Annual Field Days, as well as several attractions.
