History

The community was named for Peter Engel, an abbot of Saint John's Abbey, located in Collegeville, Minnesota.[4] It is not known why Engel's name was spelled differently in the village's name. The surrounding area was settled by German Catholic immigrants in 1902-1903, and Englefeld was one of several communities within the tract known as St. Peter's Colony.[4]

Hog Fest - The Englefeld Hog Fest was originally organized by Father Florian Renneberg in 1972.[9] The 40th annual fundraising event brought in 1270 people over July long weekend (July 1–3, 2011) which included Canada day fireworks, carnival/farmers market festivities, culminating in a feast with 16 smoked pigs, and closing out with a pancake breakfast.[9] As part of the 25th Hog Fest (celebrated in 1996) a 7 ft tall (17 ft long) fiberglass pig was erected on top of the Koenders Manufacturing building located in Englefeld along Highway 5.
