MURRAY COUNTY MN

General Info

Once home to Indians, settlers began to arrive to Murray County in 1831. A trading post was built by the American Fur Company in 1833 and the area began to grow. Officially organized in 1857, Murray County was named after William Pitt Murray, a local government official. As the railroad arrived, settlement of Slayton and neighboring villages began and in 1889, Slayton was voted as the county seat after a heated battle with nearby Currie. By 1925 local businesses were thriving and the area remained an agricultural community. Today Murray County is home to approximately 8,389 residents.
