Grant County, County in Minnesota, United States
Grant County encompasses 575 square miles of land in western Minnesota, featuring rolling hills, agricultural fields, and numerous lakes across its territory.
Established in 1868 and named after General Ulysses S. Grant, the county received its formal government organization in 1874 with Elbow Lake as its administrative center.
The county maintains seven incorporated cities, including Ashby, Barrett, and Herman, each contributing to the local agricultural and community traditions.
Interstate 94 and multiple state highways connect Grant County residents to neighboring regions, while local services include GIS mapping and licensing facilities.
The Chippewa River flows through the eastern section while the Mustinka River traverses the western part, creating a dual watershed system within the county.
