History

Formed in 1855 from Cass County

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

Todd County was created from Cass County on February 20, 1855, and named after John Blair Smith Todd. The county went through numerous boundary changes in its early years, gaining and losing land to neighboring counties including Morrison, Stearns, Cass, and Wadena between 1855 and 1866.
