WASECA COUNTY

General Info

Waseca County was established in 1857 and its name was derived from a Dakota Indian word for “rich.” Fertile soil and ample timber attracted many pioneers and the city of Waseca was selected as the county seat. Railroad development allowed for growth and early industry was dominated by agriculture with many residents farming crops and raising livestock. By 1900 its population had reached 14,760 and the area has continued to thrive. Today Waseca County is home to approximately 18,771 residents.
