Roseau County, Administrative division in northwestern Minnesota, United States.
Roseau County spans 1,678 square miles of land with low rolling hills, agricultural fields, lakes, and woodlands along the Canada-US border.
The county emerged from Kittson County through a petition in 1894, when eastern settlers requested independence due to their distance from the county seat.
The population of 15,331 residents maintains strong connections to Norwegian, German, and Swedish heritage, reflecting the European settlement patterns of the region.
The territory contains two airports, multiple state highways, and several protected natural areas, including Hayes Lake State Park.
The county shares its northern boundary with Canada and features the Piney Pinecreek Border Airport, which serves as an entry point between both countries.
