Dakota County, situated in the southeast portion of the state, is the third largest county in Minnesota. It was founded in 1849 as one of the original nine counties incorporated into the Minnesota Territory, long before statehood was established in 1858. Geographically, Dakota County is bordered by the Mississippi River to the north and the Minnesota River to the east, and its land use is split between urban, suburban, and rural habitats. [1] Hastings is the Dakota County seat, but a small portion of the city is also included in Washington County. Hastings is named for the first Minnesota governor, Henry Hastings Sibley. [2] Dakota County is named for the Dakota Sioux Native American tribe who were resettled there. Because of its proximity to the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, over half of the residents of Dakota County work outside the county. [3] Dakota County is bordered by Hennepin County to the northwest, Ramsey County to the north, Washington County to the northeast, Goodhue County to the southeast, Rice County to the southwest, and Scott County to the west.
