History


The county was created by the Minnesota Territorial legislature on February 20, 1855, although the county government was not organized until January 1, 1867, with Long Prairie as the county seat. It was named for John Blair Smith Todd, who was a delegate from Dakota Territory to the United States House of Representatives, and general in the Union Army during the American Civil War.[3]


Geography


The Crow Wing River flows southeastward along the northeastern border of Todd County. The Long Prairie River flows east-northeast through the central part of the county, discharging into the Crow Wing on the county's northeastern border. [4] The Wing River, northwest of the Long Prairie River, also flows into the Crow Wing. The county terrain consists of rolling hills, dotted with lakes and etched with drainages. The area is devoted to agriculture.[5] The terrain slopes to the east and south, with its highest point on the west border at 1,483' (452m) ASL.[6] The county has a total area of 980 sq mi (2538 km2), of which 945 sq mi (2448 km2) is land and 35 sq mi (90.7 km2)(3.5%) is water.[7]
