==History==
The recently organized [[Minnesota Territory]] legislature created Wabasha County on October 27, 1849, one of nine original counties in the territory. An area on the [[Mississippi River]]'s west bank, originally called Cratte's Landing, had grown into a town named Wabasha, then a city, and when the legislature created the county west of the river around this city, Wabasha was designated the county seat. The city had been named for three successive chiefs of Mississippi bands of [[Sioux|Dakota]] Indians.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Upham |first=Warren |url=https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog |title=Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance |publisher=Minnesota Historical Society |year=1920 |page=[https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog/page/n572 555]}}</ref>
According to the [[U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|550|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|523|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|27|sqmi}} (4.8%) is water.<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_27.txt|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=October 25, 2014|date=August 22, 2012|title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006102023/http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_27.txt|archivedate=October 6, 2014|df=}}</ref> Wabasha is one of 17 Minnesota counties with more savanna soils than either forest or prairie soils.

Wabasha County's area was reduced in 1853 when sections were partitioned off to create [[Fillmore County, Minnesota|Fillmore]], [[Goodhue County, Minnesota|Goodhue]], and [[Rice County, Minnesota|Rice]] counties. More area was partitioned off in 1854 to create [[Winona County, Minnesota|Winona County]], and another part in 1855 to create [[Olmsted County, Minnesota|Olmsted County]]. The county boundaries have remained the same since 1855.

Wabasha County lies on Minnesota's border with [[Wisconsin]] (across the [[Mississippi River]]. The Mississippi flows southeast along the county's eastern line. The North Fork of the Whitewater River flows east through the southern part of the county, then discharges into the [[Whitewater River (Minnesota)|Whitewater]] in [[Olmsted County, Minnesota|Olmsted County]]. The combined Whitewater then enters the southeastern part of Wabasha County, flowing northeast to its discharge point into the Mississippi. The [[Zumbro River]] flows east-northeast through the county to its discharge point into the Mississippi. East Indian Creek and Miller Creek drain the northern part of the county into the Mississippi. The county terrain consists of low rolling hills, considerably rutted by drainages, with all available area devoted to agriculture.<ref name="WCM">[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wabasha+County,+MN/@44.2812017,-92.3448338,11z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x87f9bc292e2b0d63:0x9fae3da3be307ba2!8m2!3d44.3020812!4d-92.2236667 Wabasha County MN Google Maps (accessed April 20, 2019)]</ref> The terrain slopes to the east and south, with its highest point on its upper west border at {{convert|1,191|ft|m|abbr=on}} ASL.<ref>[https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude.htm "Find an Altitude/Wabasha County MN" Google Maps (accessed April 20, 2019)]</ref> The county has a total area of {{convert|550|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|523|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|27|sqmi}} (4.8%) is water.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 22, 2012 |title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files |url=https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_27.txt |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006102023/http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_27.txt |archive-date=October 6, 2014 |access-date=October 25, 2014 |publisher=United States Census Bureau}}</ref> Wabasha is one of 17 Minnesota counties with more savanna soils than either forest or prairie soils.

Wabasha County is a county in the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of the 2020 census, the population was 21,387.[1] Its county seat is Wabasha.[2]

Wabasha County is part of the Rochester Metropolitan Statistical Area.

History

[edit]

The recently organized Minnesota Territory legislature created Wabasha County on October 27, 1849, one of nine original counties in the territory. An area on the Mississippi River's west bank, originally called Cratte's Landing, had grown into a town named Wabasha, then a city, and when the legislature created the county west of the river around this city, Wabasha was designated the county seat. The city had been named for three successive chiefs of Mississippi bands of Dakota Indians.[3]

Wabasha County's area was reduced in 1853 when sections were partitioned off to create Fillmore, Goodhue, and Rice counties. More area was partitioned off in 1854 to create Winona County, and another part in 1855 to create Olmsted County. The county boundaries have remained the same since 1855.

Geography

[edit]
Soils of Wabasha County[4]

Wabasha County lies on Minnesota's border with Wisconsin (across the Mississippi River. The Mississippi flows southeast along the county's eastern line. The North Fork of the Whitewater River flows east through the southern part of the county, then discharges into the Whitewater in Olmsted County. The combined Whitewater then enters the southeastern part of Wabasha County, flowing northeast to its discharge point into the Mississippi. The Zumbro River flows east-northeast through the county to its discharge point into the Mississippi. East Indian Creek and Miller Creek drain the northern part of the county into the Mississippi. The county terrain consists of low rolling hills, considerably rutted by drainages, with all available area devoted to agriculture.[5] The terrain slopes to the east and south, with its highest point on its upper west border at 1,191 ft (363 m) ASL.[6] The county has a total area of 550 square miles (1,400 km2), of which 523 square miles (1,350 km2) is land and 27 square miles (70 km2) (4.8%) is water.[7] Wabasha is one of 17 Minnesota counties with more savanna soils than either forest or prairie soils.
