Hubbard County is a county in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of the 2020 census, the population was 21,344.[2] Its county seat is Park Rapids.[3]
Part of the Leech Lake Indian Reservation is in the county.
History
[edit]The county was created on February 26, 1883, with territory partitioned from Cass County. It was named for Lucius Frederick Hubbard, a prominent Territory editor, Civil War participant, and businessman who was governor of Minnesota from 1882 to 1887.[4][5] The county's boundaries have remained unchanged since its creation.
The new county's courthouse was destroyed by fire around 1890, but the public records were salvaged.
Geography
[edit]The county's terrain is hilly, largely wooded, and dotted with lakes and ponds.[6] It generally slopes to the east, with the northern part sloping to the north and the southern part sloping to the south. Its highest point is near the lower middle of its western border, at 1,549 ft (472 m) ASL.[7] The county has an area of 1,000 square miles (2,600 km2), of which 926 square miles (2,400 km2) is land and 74 square miles (190 km2) (7.4%) is water.[8]
There may be such a high point on the border but the accepted high point for this county is the Thorpe Lookout at 1844 feet which is why the forest service maintains a tower there the US Geodetic Survey agrees.47.0962°N, -94.8539° W[9]
