As of the 2010 census, the population was 4,045,[2] making it the second-least populous county in Minnesota. Its county seat is Baudette.[3] The county was organized on November 28, 1922, though county functions did not begin until 1923.[4] The county contains the Northwest Angle, the northernmost point of the Lower 48 States, and the U.S. portion of Lake of the Woods, shared with Canada. The county also includes the exclave of Elm Point. Since Alaska has no counties, Lake of the Woods is the northernmost county in the United States. It is also the only county in the United States with four words in its name, although there is a parish in Louisiana called St. John the Baptist Parish, and the U.S. Census Bureau treats parishes as county equivalents for census purposes. HistoryLake of the Woods County was named after the lake that covers a large portion of it. Jacques de Noyon, a Frenchman who came from Trois Rivières, (Quebec), explored this area in 1688 and became the first European to see the lake. He named it Lac aux Îles which means "Lake of the Islands" in English. In 1885 the region of Lake of the Woods got its first settler, Wilhelm Zippel, a German immigrant and fisherman. He settled on the lake's south shore in a place now called Zippel Bay. Shortly after, Alonzo Wheeler settled on the lake's southwest side at a place now called Wheeler's Point. A wildfire, later known as the Baudette Fire of 1910, broke out in October of that year, burning {{convert|300000|acre|km2}} and destroying the towns of Spooner, Baudette, Graceton, Pitt, Williams, and Cedar Spur.[5] Lake of the Woods County was founded on January 1, 1923, with Baudette as the original county seat. It is known as Minnesota's youngest county, having been organized on November 28, 1922, when residents voted to separate the northern Townships.
