Waseca County, Administrative county in southern Minnesota, United States.
Waseca County is an administrative division in southern Minnesota featuring gently rolling terrain, river systems, and productive farmland. The landscape includes multiple waterways that flow through extensive agricultural areas.
The county was established on February 27, 1857, when it was separated from western Steele County. Its first government seat was located in the Wilton settlement.
The name Waseca comes from Dakota language roots and refers to the fertile soils found here. This linguistic heritage reflects the historical presence of Native peoples in the region.
