Carlton County, Administrative division in eastern Minnesota, US.
Carlton County extends across 875 square miles of low rolling hills and forested areas, with numerous rivers flowing through the landscape toward Lake Superior.
The county formed on May 23, 1857, and later established the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation through a treaty with Lake Superior Ojibwe in 1870.
Native American heritage intersects with European settlement influences throughout Carlton County, particularly within the Fond du Lac Indian Reservation in the northeastern section.
The county provides essential services through offices at 301 Walnut Avenue in Carlton, including marriage licenses, elections, and administrative support for residents.
The terrain reaches elevations of 1,450 feet above sea level, containing protected areas like Black Hoof Wildlife Management Area and Jay Cooke State Park.
