Viewing Cottonwood County Court House Buildings and Jail (1916).


Cottonwood County Court House Buildings and Jail (1916).

Cottonwood County was formed May 23, 1857. Private homes and stores were leased for government purposes until 1883, when the first court house was erected in Windom at a cost of $2,916.62. In 1905, a second court house, still in use, was built at a cost of $100,000.

This history of Cottonwood County's court houses and jail appeared first in a joint history of Cottonwood and Watonwan Counties published in 1916.
