Plainview Township settled in 1854 and organized May 11,
1858, took the name of its ciry, platted in the summer of 1857 and
incorporated as a village on March 9, 1875, and reincorporated on
June 10, 1908. The village was at first called Centerville but was
changed when the post office was applied for in 1857 because
another place in the state had been earlier so named. "In view of
location, it being the watershed of the Zumbro and Whitewater
Rivers, and in plain view of a large tract of surrounding country,
the name was changed to Plainview." Villages in Illinois, Nebraska
and four other states also bear this name. The township contains
Carley State Park, established in 1949 and named for James A.
Carley a state senator, 1915-29 and 1935-51, who donated much of
the land.
