In 1849 the [[Minnesota Territory]] legislature defined the boundaries of nine future counties. One of those, [[Dakota County, Minnesota|Dakota]], contained the area north of the [[Minnesota River]] where it altered its flow from southeast to northeast. In 1853 the first settler had homesteaded an area on the northeast run of the river, and the following year the settlement of Saint Peter was platted there. Seeing the inflow of settlers into the areas adjoining the river, on March 5, 1853, the territorial legislature partitioned off the lower portion of Dakota County to form a separate entity. It was named for [[Joseph Nicolas Nicollet]] (1786-1843),<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Nicollet County |url=http://www.co.nicollet.mn.us/352/About-Nicollet-County |access-date=April 19, 2015 |publisher=government of Nicollet County}}</ref> a French explorer whose maps of the area had been instrumental in the territory's development.

Nicollet County (/ˈnɪkəlɪt/ NIH-kə-lit)[1] is a county in the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of the 2020 census, the population was 34,454.[2] Its county seat is St. Peter.[3]
Nicollet County is part of the Mankato – North Mankato Metropolitan Statistical Area.
History
[edit]In 1849 the Minnesota Territory legislature defined the boundaries of nine future counties. One of those, Dakota, contained the area north of the Minnesota River where it altered its flow from southeast to northeast. In 1853 the first settler had homesteaded an area on the northeast run of the river, and the following year the settlement of Saint Peter was platted there. Seeing the inflow of settlers into the areas adjoining the river, on March 5, 1853, the territorial legislature partitioned off the lower portion of Dakota County to form a separate entity. It was named for Joseph Nicolas Nicollet (1786-1843),[4] a French explorer whose maps of the area had been instrumental in the territory's development. The county seat was established at Saint Peter.[5]
Significant fighting occurred in the county during the 1862 Dakota War, most notably at the Battle of Fort Ridgely.
Geography
[edit]The Minnesota River flows eastward along the southern border of Nicollet County, from its northwestern corner to its northeastern corner, defining the county's southern line. The county terrain consists of low rolling hills, completely devoted to agriculture where possible.[6] The terrain slopes to the east.[7] The county has an area of 467 square miles (1,210 km2), of which 448 square miles (1,160 km2) is land and 18 square miles (47 km2) (3.9%) is water.[8]
Nicollet County's highest point is the lowest high point of all Minnesota counties, with an elevation of 1,065 feet.[9][10] The county's high point is east of Clear Lake and west of the town of Lafayette.

[edit]Government and politics
[edit]Nicollet County has been politically balanced in past decades. Since 1976 the county has selected the Democratic and Republican Party candidates in equal measure in national elections (as of 2020). It has backed the nationwide winner in every election since 1980 except for 2004, and even then, losing Democrat John Kerry only beat incumbent Republican George W. Bush in the county by just 108 votes.
