Houston County is located in the southeastern part of the great state of Minnesota. It was established on February 23, 1854, and named after Sam Houston, a notable American statesman, soldier, and politician who played a key role in the annexation of Texas to the United States. The county spans an area of 569 square miles and its seat is the city of Caledonia.

The region was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, predominantly the Dakota and Winnebago people. During the mid-19th century, European-American settlers began to arrive, drawn to the area's fertile soil and abundant natural resources. Agriculture, especially dairy farming, quickly became the primary economic activity, with many Norwegian and German immigrants contributing to its development.

Houston County is also known for its cultural heritage and beautiful landscape. The area is home to a portion of the scenic Root River Valley, which offers various recreational opportunities such as fishing, canoeing, and hiking. One fun fact about Houston County is that it boasts the International Owl Center, found in the city of Houston, which is dedicated to educating the public about owls and their habitats. This unique attraction highlights the county's commitment to the conservation of natural resources and wildlife.
