Winona County, Administrative county in southeastern Minnesota, United States
Winona County extends across 642 square miles of rolling hills, farmlands, and waterways along the Mississippi River, reaching elevations of 1,365 feet.
The Minnesota Territorial Legislature established Winona County in 1854 by combining sections of Wabasha and Fillmore Counties, naming it after a Native American figure.
The county maintains multiple committees focusing on criminal justice coordination, community development, and environmental conservation through various departmental programs.
Residents access county services through departments including the License Center for vehicle registration, Veterans Services for benefits, and the Recorder's office for property documentation.
The county contains two significant natural areas, Great River Bluffs State Park and Whitewater State Park, positioned along the Mississippi River's dramatic limestone formations.
