  • Lake Wobegon is a fictional town created by Garrison Keillor as the setting of the recurring segment "News from Lake Wobegon" for the radio program A Prairie Home Companion broadcast from St Paul, Minnesota. The fictional town serves as the setting for many of Keillor's stories and novels, gaining an international audience with Lake Wobegon Days in 1985. Described as a small rural town in central Minnesota, the events and adventures of the townspeople provided Keillor with a wealth of humorous and often touching stories. Keillor has said that people often ask him if it is a real town, and when he replied that it was not, they seemed disappointed because "people want stories to be true". So he began to say it was in "central Minnesota, near Stearns County, up around Holdingford, not far from St. Rosa and Albany and Freeport, northwest of St. Cloud", which he says is "sort of the truth, I guess."

  • Lake Wobegon est une ville imaginaire située dans l'état du Minnesota, aux États-Unis. Elle est inventée par Garrison Keillor dans l'émission radiophonique A Prairie Home Companion. Elle y est décrite comme une ville où « all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average », ce qu'on pourrait traduire par « toutes les femmes sont fortes, tous les hommes sont beaux, et tous les enfants sont au-dessus de la moyenne ».
