Isanti County is nestled in the heart of Minnesota and was established on February 13, 1857. The county's name is derived from the Dakota (Sioux) word "Isanti," referring to the Isanti or Santee Dakota people native to the area.
The county spans an area of approximately 452 square miles and includes the cities of Cambridge, Isanti, Braham, as well as several other smaller towns and unincorporated communities. The Rum River, a historically significant waterway for its role in Native American trade networks and the fur trade era with the French, British, and American traders, winds through the county, providing a picturesque backdrop for the region.
The region's development began to progress in the mid-19th century with the arrival of European settlers, predominantly from Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, and Denmark). They initially engaged in farming and agriculture, and eventually expanded upon logging, milling, and other industries. Today, Isanti County continues to maintain its natural beauty, with abundant recreational opportunities in local parks, trails, and waterways.
One fun fact about Isanti County is the Ojibwa legend of the Rum River's name origin. It is said that a group of Dakota outwitted a group of Ojibwa by replacing their beverage store with a barrel of rum, getting the Ojibwa intoxicated and taking control of the region. The river was later called "Wahkon-tah-tah-pee" by the Dakota, meaning "Spirit River," which was eventually mistranslated by European settlers as "Rum River."
