Pembina County

Pembina County is a defunct county that was located in the Northwest corner of Minnesota along the North Dakota and Manitoba borders and was established on October 27, 1849 by the Territorial Legislature as one of the original nine counties. Pembina is named for the Ojibwe word for red berries that grow in the area. Pembina was renamed Kittson County by the State Legislature on March 9, 1878.
