Marshall County

Marshall County is an administrative division in northern Minnesota with a mix of water bodies, river valleys, and farming land. The region's terrain reflects its position along the Red River Valley corridor.

The county was formally established in 1879 and named after William R. Marshall, the fifth governor of Minnesota. Its founding reflected the period of European settlement and land development across the region.

The county maintains strong agricultural traditions with annual farming events, local produce markets, and community gatherings at the county fairgrounds.

The administration office in Warren serves as the main hub for visitor information and local services. This is a good starting point to learn about activities and events happening throughout the region.

The region contains multiple prairie restoration projects that protect native Minnesota grassland species. These conservation areas offer glimpses into the original ecology of the Great Plains before settlement.
