History

Formed in 1881 from Polk County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Norman County was created from Polk County and fully organized on November 8, 1881. The county was named after Norwegians. In 1906, Norman County lost land to the creation of Mahnomen County.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
