Otter Tail County, Administrative division in Minnesota, US.
Otter Tail County spans across Minnesota with 1,048 lakes within its borders, making it the county with the most lakes in the United States.
The county formed on March 18, 1858, from parts of Cass and Pembina Counties, with Fergus Falls later becoming the county seat due to population growth.
Native American artifacts and burial mounds near Pelican Rapids indicate human presence dating back to approximately 11,000 BC in this region.
The county provides residents with employment resources, housing assistance, economic support, and access to public hearings through livestreamed board meetings.
The Otter Tail River and Leaf River create a network of waterways through rolling hills and wooded sections, supporting agriculture and natural drainage systems.
