Pipestone County is a county in the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of the 2020 census, the population was 9,424.[2] Its county seat is Pipestone.[3]
History
[edit]The county was formed on May 23, 1857, by act of the territorial legislature, but was not organized at that time. The area was first designated Rock County while the name Pipestone County was attached to neighboring Rock County. An act of the Minnesota state legislature on February 20, 1862, swapped the designations, attaching the present names to the present counties, due to the pipestone quarry in this county.
Pipestone County organization was effected by a state act on January 27, 1879, with Pipestone City (which had been platted in 1876) as the county seat (the name of the county seat was later shortened to Pipestone).[4] The pipestones are from deposits of red pipestone Native Americans used to make pipes.[5]
Pipestone National Monument is in the county, just north of the town of Pipestone.
Geography
[edit]Pipestone County lies on Minnesota's border with South Dakota. The Rock River rises in the county and flows southward into Rock County, being augmented by the East Branch of the Rock River near the southern border. The terrain consists of low rolling hills, carved by drainages.
