Willmar (Images of America) |
| It was the 1850s when the first
settlers arrived in the area that would become Willmar,
Minnesota. Encouraged by the land itself, they came for the
fertile soil and the beauty and serenity provided by the
landscape. Calamity would strike in 1862 due to the Dakota
War, causing residents to flee for safer pastures. In 1869,
the Great Northern Railroad would again call settlers to
Kandiyohi County. Most of Scandinavian descent, this hardy
lot would not be driven from the land again. In 1870, acting
as agent for the St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, Leon Chadwick
Willmar purchased the title to Section 1 of Willmar
Township. The following year, Willmar was officially named a
city and became the county seat of Kandiyohi County. As the
years passed from then to now, Willmar residents would face
success and challenge, feast and famine, and partnership and
controversy. No matter the circumstance, they would band
together to face whatever arrived and join together in both
celebration and sorrow. |
