History

The Dakota Territory legislature created the county on May 2, 1881, with areas partitioned from Grand and Pembina counties. It was organized on August 30 of that same year, with Grafton as county seat.[3][4] It was named for George H. Walsh (1845–1913), a newspaperman and politician in Grand Forks.

Geography

Walsh County lies on the eastern side of North Dakota. Its east boundary line abuts the west boundary line of the state of Minnesota (across the Red River). The Red River flows north along the east side of the county on its way to Hudson Bay in Canada. The south branch of the Park River flows easterly through the county to discharge into the Red on the east side of the county.[5] The terrain generally slopes to the north and east, but the highest point is its northwest corner, at 1,647' (502m) ASL.[6] The county has a total area of 1,294 square miles (3,350 km²), of which 1,282 square miles (3,320 km²) is land and 12 square miles (31 km²) (0.9%) is water.[7]
