Stevens County

Stevens County is located in West Central Minnesota and was established on February 20, 1862 by the State Legislature. Stevens County was named for former Washington Territorial Governor (1853-1857) and Washington U.S. Delegate (1857-1861) Isaac Stevens who commanded a surveying expedition. Stearns County was intended to be named after Stevens in 1855 but a clerical error changed it to Stearns instead. Morris is the county seat. Sources: Stevens County website.

Calvin Brown (resident): Republican Supreme Court Associate Justice (1899-1912) and Chief Justice (1913-1923)
