}}Carver County is a county in the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 91,042.[2] Its county seat is Chaska.[3] Carver County is named for explorer Jonathan Carver, who in 1766–67, traveled from Boston to the Minnesota River, and wintered among the Sioux near the site of New Ulm.[4]

Carver County is part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Geography

The Minnesota River flows east-northeasterly along the county's southern border. The South Fork of the Crow River flows northeasterly through the upper western and central portions of the county. Carver Creek flows southeasterly from the county's central area, discharging into the Minnesota at the county's southern border. The terrain consists of low rolling hills, dotted with lakes in the eastern portion. The area is devoted to agriculture.[5] The terrain slopes to the east and south, with its highest point near its NW corner, at 1,024' (312m) ASL.[6] The county has a total area of {{convert|376|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|354|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|22|sqmi}} (5.8%) is water.[7] It is Minnesota's second-smallest county by land area and third-smallest by total area.

Carver is one of seven southern Minnesota counties with no forest soils; only prairie ecosystems of savannas and prairies can be found in Carver County. It is also one of 17 Minnesota counties where savanna soils dominate.

Government and politics

Government

Like all counties in Minnesota, Carver is governed by an elected and nonpartisan board of commissioners. Each commissioner represents a district of approximately equal population.

County commissioners

The county commission elects a chair who presides at meetings.

Commissioners as of November 2018:[17]

District Commissioner In office since Current term expires on Dec. 31 of
1st Gayle O. Degler 2002 2020
2nd Tom Workman 2002 2022
3rd Randy Maluchnik 2006 2020
4th Tim Lynch 2004 2022
5th James Ische 1996 2020

Politics

As Carver County becomes more suburban and less rural in character, with 90% of its residents now living in its cities, it is becoming more of a battleground territory, especially in the eastern half of the county and in its two largest cities, Chaska and Chanhassen. Traditionally, the county has tended to vote for Republicans. Since World War II, the county has never voted for a Democratic candidate for president. The last time Carver County voted for a Democrat was in 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt's landslide win against incumbent Herbert Hoover,[18] and the only other occurrence since 1896 was Woodrow Wilson in 1912, when the Republicans were bitterly divided. Since 1944, the only time Carver County voted for a non-Republican candidate in a gubernatorial race was in 1998, Jesse Ventura’s historic third party upset.[19]

Carver County is divided into two congressional districts. The eastern area, adjacent to Hennepin County and Scott County, is represented by Minnesota's 3rd congressional district (CPVI D+1); the remainder of the county is represented by Minnesota's 6th congressional district (CPVI R+12).
