history

The Kandiyohi County was formed on March 20, 1858 from parts of Meeker County, Renville County, Stearns County and the defunct Davis County and Pierce County, which only exists in Wisconsin. It was named after a word from the Dakota language.

The county government's first seat was in Kandiyohi , which was called Kandiyohi Station at the time of its establishment and was a railroad stop . Since the settlement was extremely thin and progressed slowly, it was merged with the now defunct Monongalia County in 1870 and on November 21, 1871 Willmar was elected the new district capital.

15 buildings and sites in the county are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (as of January 29, 2018).
