Grant County, County in Minnesota, United States
Grant County is an administrative division in western Minnesota with rolling terrain, farmland, and scattered lakes throughout the area. The county spans several towns and agricultural communities organized into seven incorporated cities.
The county was established in 1868 and named after General Ulysses S. Grant, a major military and political figure of the era. Its formal governmental structure was organized in 1874 with Elbow Lake serving as the county seat.
The county maintains seven incorporated cities, including Ashby, Barrett, and Herman, each contributing to the local agricultural and community traditions.
Interstate highways and state roads connect the area to neighboring regions, making travel between communities straightforward. Local government offices provide standard services and information for residents and visitors.
Two major rivers define the watershed system across the area, with the Chippewa River flowing through the eastern section and the Mustinka River crossing the western portion. This dual river system creates distinct hydrological patterns throughout the region.
