Rock County, Administrative county in southwestern Minnesota, United States.
Rock County is an administrative division in southwestern Minnesota characterized by flat terrain, agricultural land, and small rural communities. The landscape consists primarily of farmland and grassland dotted with scattered towns that serve as local centers for services and commerce.
Rock County was established by the Minnesota State Legislature in 1857 with Luverne designated as the county seat. Early settlement brought farmers to the region, making agriculture the economic foundation that shaped development for generations.
The Rock County Veterans Memorial stands as a recognition point for military service members who represented the local community.
Luverne at the center serves as the main location for county services and public information. The region is accessible by road with basic services distributed across the various towns throughout the area.
The territory encompasses multiple municipalities including Beaver Creek, Hardwick, Hills, Jasper, Kenneth, Magnolia, and Steen, connected by Interstate 90.
