Roseau County, Administrative division in northwestern Minnesota, United States.
Description
Roseau County is an administrative division in northwestern Minnesota that borders Canada. The landscape features rolling hills, agricultural land, lakes, and forests spread across the terrain.
History
The county separated from Kittson County in 1894 when settlers in the eastern part requested their own administration due to distance from the existing county seat. This division created a new frontier territory that grew gradually as immigration continued.
Culture
Residents here continue traditions rooted in Norwegian, German, and Swedish heritage that shape local celebrations and daily community life. This connection to European ancestry remains woven into how people gather and identify themselves today.
Practical
The area is connected by state highways and served by two airports for regional transportation. Visitors can explore Hayes Lake State Park and other protected natural areas year-round, though summer and early fall offer the most pleasant conditions.
Did you know?
The Piney Pinecreek Border Airport sits directly on the Canadian boundary and serves as a crossing point between the two countries. This small airfield connects the region to the north in a way few other places do.
