Faribault County (/ˈfɛərboʊ/ FAIR-boh)[1] is a county in the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of the 2020 census, the population was 13,921.[2] Its county seat is Blue Earth.[3]

History

[edit]

The county was founded in 1855.[4] It was named for Jean-Baptiste Faribault, a settler and French fur trader among the Sioux Indians.[5]

Geography

[edit]

Faribault County lies on the south side of Minnesota. Its southern border abuts the north border of the state of Iowa. The Blue Earth River flows northerly through the west-central part of the county; it enters from Iowa as two branches, West Branch and Middle Branch, merging at 5 miles (8.0 km) into the county. It is joined by East Branch near the city of Blue Earth, thence flows northward into Blue Earth County. The Maple River flows west-northwestward through the upper central part of the county, entering from Freeborn County and exiting to Blue Earth County. The Cobb River also flows through the NE part of the county, from Freeborn to Blue Earth county.[6]

The county terrain consists of semi-arid rolling hills, devoted to agriculture. The SE portion is a glacial moraine near Kiester, and is known as the Kiester Moraine.[7] The county has an area of 722 square miles (1,870 km2), of which 712 square miles (1,840 km2) is land and 9.4 square miles (24 km2) (1.3%) is water.[8]
