Viewing Lac qui Parle County Courthouses and Jail. (1916)


Lac qui Parle County Courthouses and Jail. (1916)

The commissioners of Lac qui Parle County, organized March 6, 1871, leased "a small frame building," once used as a hotel in the village of Lac qui Parle, as the courthouse until 1875. A store building was rented from 1875 to 1883, when a new courthouse was built and occupied. In November 1886, the county seat was relocated to Madison, where a new courthouse was erected.

This history of the early courthouses of Lac qui Parle County appeared in a joint history of Chippewa and Lac qui Parle Counties published in 1916.
