From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Established March 1, 1856, and organized in 1872, this county was named with reference to the extensive pineries of white and red (Norway) pine in various parts of this district, since much worked and practically all cut off by lumbermen. Perhaps also this name was adopted partly for the Pine Lakes and River, here tributary from the west to the Kettle River. Pine City, the county seat, received its name from that of the county and also from the adjacent Ojibwe village, Chengwatana.
