Walsh County, County in North Dakota, United States
Walsh County spans 1,294 square miles across northeastern North Dakota, with fertile farmland and rolling plains stretching toward the Minnesota border.
The Dakota Territory legislature formed Walsh County in 1881 from sections of Grand and Pembina counties, naming it after newspaperman George H. Walsh.
Norwegian heritage shapes the county's identity, with 39.7 percent of residents tracing their ancestry to Norway and maintaining traditional agricultural practices.
The county provides governmental services through its seat in Grafton, with Interstate 29 and US Highway 81 connecting its communities.
In 1946, Walsh County experienced one of North Dakota's deadliest weather events when a tornado claimed eight lives within its boundaries.
