Otter Tail County is located in the western region of the great state of Minnesota. The history of this area traces back to the Native American Dakota and Ojibwe tribes who initially inhabited the region. In 1858, this vast land of over 1,000 lakes and abundant resources was organized following the passing of legislation by the state of Minnesota.
The county was named after the Otter Tail River and Otter Tail Lake, believed to be because of its unique shape that resembles the tail of an otter. Its rich ecosystem attracted European settlers who made their way to the area in the 19th century. They established towns, water-powered mills, and engaged in activities such as fur trade, farming, and timber harvesting.
Otter Tail County experienced significant growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as major railroads, such as Northern Pacific Railway, made their way into the region, boosting economic development and drawing in more settlers. The population continued to grow, and by the 20th century, the county had established itself as a thriving hub for agriculture and manufacturing.
Today, Otter Tail County has evolved into a picturesque blend of rural charm, outdoor recreational activities, and small-town communities with strong Scandinavian and German heritage. It remains a popular destination for visitors interested in its historical sites, natural beauty, and the legacy of early settlers.
