Norman County, Administrative county in northwestern Minnesota, United States
Norman County extends across 877 square miles of land characterized by low rolling hills, lakes, and swampy regions near the Red River Valley.
The Minnesota legislature created Norman County on March 17, 1881, with Ada designated as the county seat despite its location away from the center.
The population of Norman County maintains strong ties to its Norwegian heritage, with 57.5 percent of residents reporting Norwegian ancestry in demographic surveys.
The county administration provides essential services through the Norman County Courthouse in Ada, including property tax collection, elections, and public health resources.
The Wild Rice River and Marsh River flow through Norman County, creating a natural drainage system that supports agricultural activities in the region.
