Cosmos is a city in Meeker County, Minnesota, United States, along the South Fork of the Crow River.

On his arrival, until he could build his house, he lived in a tent and cooked on an open fire.

In 1877, he made a trip to the Black Hills and spent the season in gold mining, but returned in the fall.

Several others followed that first year, such as Civil War veteran Isaac L. Layton or Leighton from Maine, Hansom W. Young from New Brunswick, and Daniel S. Hoyt in 1867 as a surveyor from Massachusetts.

"[citation needed] Cosmos remained small until rumors spread around 1910 that a railroad would be built.

In 1922, the Luce Railroad (Minnesota Western) was constructed, and Cosmos continued to grow.

He froze to death in February 1870, trying to walk on foot to the Minnesota River.

The town had a railway station serving several rail lines, including the Minnesota Western.

Today the Luce Line Trail runs from Cosmos to Minneapolis.
