| Pine City is a city in Pine County, Minnesota, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 3,043. It is the county seat of, and the largest city in, Pine County. Its name is an English translation of "Chengwatana" (Pine Town), originally an Ojibwe village located just east of Pine City, along the Snake River. The Ojibwe name for the city is Ne-zhingwaakokaag (on a land-point full of white pines). Portions of the Mille Lacs Indian Reservation are located in adjacent Pine City Township. |

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
There were 1,222 households out of which 30.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 42.8% were married couples living together, 12.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 39.9% were non-families. 34.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 19.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.38 and the average family size was 3.04.
In the city the population was spread out with 25.3% under the age of 18, 10.5% from 18 to 24, 25.0% from 25 to 44, 17.9% from 45 to 64, and 21.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 88.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 84.0 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $29,118, and the median income for a family was $37,639. Males had a median income of $30,951 versus $20,759 for females. The per capita income for the city was $16,802. About 10.8% of families and 15.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 24.4% of those under age 18 and 14.1% of those age 65 or over.
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.
