The Hutchinson Family Singers (John, Asa, and Judson Hutchinson) are credited with founding the town in November 1855. A post office has been in operation in Hutchinson since 1856. The city was incorporated in 1904.
In 1942 muralist Elsa Jemne completed an egg tempera on plaster mural, titled The Hutchinson Singers, in the town's post office. Federally commissioned murals were produced from 1934 to 1943 in the United States through the Section of Painting and Sculpture, later called the Section of Fine Arts, of the Treasury Department. The program created public art for numerous buildings constructed during the Great Depression as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Public Works Administration's program to provide employment and improve infrastructure.
Hutchinson was once served by three railroads. The Electric Short Line (commonly known as the Luce Line) provided freight and interurban service between Minneapolis and Gluek via Hutchinson. During the mid-20th century, there was extensive restructuring in the railroad industry, as automobiles had caused a decline in passenger traffic, and trucking had cut into freight movement.
The Electric Short Line was purchased by the Minneapolis & St. Louis in 1956, which was in turn purchased by the Chicago & North Western in 1960. The tracks west of Hutchinson were abandoned in 1967, and the tracks between Hutchinson and Plymouth were abandoned in 1972. The Milwaukee Road had a branch line to Hutchinson from Glencoe, which was abandoned in 1956. The Great Northern Railway also had a branch line, which went from Wayzata to Hutchinson. This was taken over by Burlington Northern in 1970. In 1985 Burlington Northern petitioned to abandon its line to Hutchinson, but Dakota Rail took over operations that same year. Dakota Rail struggled to turn a profit and sought to abandon the line in 2000. The tracks were officially abandoned in 2001. Hutchinson's Great Northern Depot has been preserved.

Hutchinson (Images of
America)
Founded in 1855, when Minnesota
was still a territory, Hutchinson is named for a New
Hampshire family of minstrels and social activists who sang
for emancipation, women's rights, temperance, and other
causes of their day. In its early years, the town survived a
Dakota War and a grasshopper plague to evolve into a
thriving community. Documenting this evolution through six
chapters are period photographs--the vast majority from the
collections of the McLeod County Historical Society. Images
of America: Hutchinson chronicles the town's beginnings,
then presents a city tour across time, with a primary focus
on Main Street. It illustrates public services and the
livelihoods of local citizens, and it reveals a lifestyle
that was, and is, enriched by an array of diversions, many
centered on the Crow River, surrounding lakes, and an
extensive park system. Concluding photographs, spanning the
arts, serve as a reminder of the legacy of the founders.
