Historically, the Fair ended on the Sunday one week before Labor Day and the earliest Fair dates were August 13-23. In 1994, the Iowa State Fair Board, in an effort to avoid earlier school start dates, moved the dates of the Fair up one week. The Fair now ends on the Sunday two weeks prior to Labor Day. Based on calendar shifts, the earliest Fair dates are August 7-17 and the latest are August 13-23.
The First State Fair was in downtown Minneapolis. Take that St. Paul! True Story. The very first Minnesota State Fair took place all the way back in 1859, a year after Minnesota officially joined the union. It was held in what is currently downtown Minneapolis.
