***This cache is not at the posted coordinates.***

Alexander "Alex" Faribault (June 22, 1806 – November 28, 1882) was an American trading post operator and territorial legislator who helped to found Faribault, Minnesota and was its first postmaster. Born in Prairie du Chien, Michigan Territory, his father was the fur trapper Jean-Baptiste Faribault. Alex Faribault owned a trading post and in 1851 served in the Minnesota Territorial House of Representatives. During the Dakota War of 1862, he fought in the Battle of Birch Coulee. Faribault died in Faribault, Minnesota, after suffering a "paralytic shock" the previous month. His house, the Alexander Faribault House, was built in 1853 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
