Historia
El territorio de Wisconsin fue establecido por el gobierno federal de los Estados Unidos a partir del 3 de julio de 1836 e incluyó lo que ahora es Minnesota, hasta que a su parte oriental se le otorgó la condición de estado (como Wisconsin ) en 1848.
El Congreso estableció el Territorio de Minnesota a partir del 3 de marzo de 1849. La legislatura territorial recién organizada creó nueve condados en todo el territorio en octubre de ese año. Dos de los condados originales, Dakota y Wabashaw (más tarde Wabasha) , tuvieron partes reasignadas el 5 de marzo de 1853 para crear el condado de Rice .
En 1852, la familia de Jacob McQuillin se estableció en el sur del condado de Rice, comenzando un movimiento de asentamiento que creció rápidamente. El 20 de febrero de 1855, la legislatura territorial creó el condado actual de la parte más al sur del condado de Rice. [4] El nuevo condado recibió el nombre de John Edward Mower , miembro de la legislatura territorial . [5]
El 1 de marzo de 1856, el gobernador territorial Willis A. Gorman firmó el acto legislativo que organizó el condado. Nombró a tres comisionados, que se reunieron por primera vez en Frankford Township . En enero de 1857 esos comisionados decidieron designar la sede permanente en Austin Township . En julio de 1857 se definió con más detalle la ubicación dentro del municipio de Austin, dentro del pueblo de Austin , que se había planificado durante la primavera de 1856. [6]
Geografía
El condado de Mower se encuentra en la frontera de Minnesota con Iowa . El río Cedar fluye hacia el sur a través de la parte occidental del condado, hacia el condado de Mitchell, Iowa . El río Upper Iowa nace en el condado de Mower. Sus ramas, Little Iowa y Upper Branch Upper Iowa, se fusionan cerca de Le Roy y fluyen de este a sureste desde la esquina sureste del condado hacia el condado de Mitchell, Iowa. Deer Creek drena la parte sureste del condado y fluye hacia el noreste hasta el condado de Fillmore . Bear Creek drena la parte norte del condado y fluye hacia el este hasta el condado de Fillmore. Carey Creek drena la parte noreste del condado y fluye hacia el noreste hasta el condado de Olmsted . El terreno del condado está formado por colinas bajas y onduladas, marcadas con drenajes y barrancos. El área está dedicada a la agricultura siempre que sea posible. [8] El terreno se inclina hacia el este y el sur desde una cresta central elevada que corre de oeste a este, [9] con su punto más alto a 1,6 millas (2,6 km) al este de Elkton , a 1,440 '(439 m) ASL. [10] El condado tiene un área total de 712 millas cuadradas (1.840 km 2 ), de las cuales 711 millas cuadradas (1.840 km 2 ) son tierra y 0.2 millas cuadradas (0.52 km 2 ) (0.03%) es agua. [11]

From its first participating election in 1860 through 1928, Mower County was traditionally Republican, voting for the Republican nominee in every election save 1912, when it voted for Bull Moose nominee and former Republican president Theodore Roosevelt.[18] After the New Deal realignment in 1932, Mower County leaned Democratic for about 80 years, voting for the Democrat in every presidential election through 2012 save in Eisenhower's two landslides (1952 and 1956), and 1960, when it voted for Nixon over Kennedy (despite having only narrowly voted for Eisenhower four years earlier). In 2016, Donald Trump became the first Republican to carry the county since 1960, winning a high plurality of 49.8%. In 2020, he carried it again, this time with a majority, making it the first time the county had voted Republican two elections in a row since 1956 and 1960.
