SHERBURNE COUNTY MN

General Info

Originally part of Benton County, Sherburne County was organized in 1856 and named after Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Moses Sherburne. Settlers were attracted to the rich farmland and ample timber. As settlement grew along the Mississippi River banks, townships were divided and organized. Elk River was selected as the county seat and Sherburne County continued to grow as the railroad lines arrived and transportation improved. With its proximity to the Twin Cities, Sherburne County has now grown from a bustling agricultural area to a commuter’s haven. Today Sherburne County is home to approximately 87,832 residents.
