History

The Minnesota Legislature created the county on February 8, 1862, with Redwood Falls as the county seat. It was named for the Redwood River, which flows eastward through the county.^[3]

Geography

The Minnesota River flows southeast along the county's northeastern border. The Redwood River flows east through the upper part of the county, draining into the Minnesota near Redwood Falls. The Cottonwood River flows east through the lower part of the county, entering adjacent Brown County before discharging into the Minnesota. The county terrain consists of rolling hills, carved with drainages and sprinkled with lakes.^[4] The largely rural area is devoted to commodity crops of corn and soybeans. The terrain slopes to the east, with its highest point in the southwest corner at 1,450 ft (440 m) ASL.^[5] The county has a total area of 882 square miles (2,280 km²), of which 879 square miles (2,280 km²) is land and 3.2 square miles (8.3 km²) (0.4%) is water.^[6]
