MARTIN COUNTY MN

General Info

Settled in the mid 1800s, Martin County was officially organized in 1857. The first post office in Martin County was established in 1858 in Fairmont. Named after Henry Martin, a Connecticut landowner, Martin County grew as an agricultural community. As the railroad arrived, Martin County continued to grow. Soon banks, schools and a cheese factory were thriving and Fairmont was voted as its county seat. By 1880 there were over 200 residents in Martin County and the area continued to develop and organize with communities establishing near railroads and nearby lakes and rivers. Today Martin County is home to approximately 20,435 residents.
