In 1853, R.D Kinney came to the then territory of Minnesota from Vermont as a missionary to the Native Americans. Soon after arriving, he built his house on the location of present day Royalton. Royalton was platted in 1878 and incorporated as a village on March 3, 1887. The post office then appointed Kinney postmaster and asked for suggestions for names for the post office. Kinney suggested Royalton because it was the name of his hometown of Royalton, Vermont and the post office took his suggestion.
Nearby cities include Holdingford, Little Falls, Upsala, Pierz, Sartell.
