Stevens County Minnesota
(Images of America) |
| The land area that came to be
known as Stevens County was ceded to the United States
government by the Dakota Indians in the treaty of the
Traverse des Sioux in 1851. Government and railroad
exploration parties, Red River Trail oxcarts, and pioneers
and missionaries had come through the area long before it
was officially ceded or settled. After the Dakota uprising
of 1862, the United States government made the decision to
put a fort in Dakota Territory. In 1864, Fort Wadsworth,
later called Fort Sisseton, was built. Mule teams with
supplies for soldiers and Native Americans, and pioneers
began traveling in greater numbers across the tallgrass
prairies of Stevens County from St. Cloud and into Dakota
Territory. Pioneers from many different countries settled in
Stevens County to break up the prairie sod and plant wheat
and tree claims on their homesteaded land. Grasshoppers,
prairie fires, and blizzards tested their determination, but
the hardy ones survived to provide for their children's
education, organize local governments, and build homes,
churches, and businesses. |
