At the 2010 United States Census, the population was 36,651.[2] Its county seat is Glencoe.[3] McLeod County comprises the Hutchinson, MN Micropolitan Statistical Area and is part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI Combined Statistical Area. HistoryFor thousands of years the area was inhabited by indigenous peoples. At the time of European contact, it was the territory of the Dakota Sioux. The county was created by the Minnesota Territorial legislature on 1 March 1856.[4] It was named for Martin McLeod, a Canadian-born adventurer who became a fur trader and later was elected a territorial representative (1849–1856) in Minnesota. As a young man, he was part of James Dickson's 1836 expedition to the Red River of the North, a journey recounted in his Diary of Martin McLeod, a manuscript held by the Minnesota Historical Society.[5] The county seat was sited at Glencoe as part of the original act; it had been founded (11 June 1855) by Martin McLeod, who was a member of the townsite company when the county was founded.[4] The county was the site of several events during the Dakota War of 1862, including the siege of Hutchinson and the killing of the White family near Brownton. It was also the first place to use the Geier Hitch,[6] a kind of animal husbandry that some characterize as animal abuse. GeographyThe South Fork of the Crow River flows easterly through the upper central part of McLeod County, thence into Wright County. Buffalo Creek also flows eastward through the lower central part of the county, thence into Wright. The county terrain consists of low rolling hills, dotted with lakes and lightly etched by drainages and gullies. The area is mostly devoted to agriculture.[7] The terrain is sloped to the east, with its highest point on the upper west border at 1,096' (334m) ASL.[8] The county has an area of {{convert|506|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|491|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|14|sqmi}} (2.8%) is water.[9] McLeod is one of seven southern Minnesota Counties with no native forests. Only savanna and prairie soils exist in McLeod County. Major highways{{div col|colwidth=32em}}
