History:
LONG PRAIRIE Township, organized March 12, 1867, had
been occupied 1848-55 by the agency of a reservation for the Winnebago
Indians. Long Prairie, the county seat, was platted in May 1867 and was
incorporated as a village on December 22, 1883. The name is received
from the Long Prairie River, flowing through this county to the Crow
Wing River; the stream was named for a long and relatively narrow
prairie, from a half mile to one mile wide, bordering its east side for
about 20 miles, from Lake Charlotte and Long Prairie village northward
to the west line of Fawn Lake Township. When the post office was
established in 1850, David Olmsted was the postmaster until he moved to
St. Paul in 1853; he was influential in Todd County and the state, and
Olmsted County is named for him. Courtesy
