Chisago County Summary
Chisago County is located in east-central Minnesota, about 40 miles north of the Twin Cities. It is bordered by Isanti County to the north, Anoka County to the east, Washington County to the south, and Pine County to the west. The county seat is Center City, and the largest city is North Branch. The county was established in 1851 and named after the Chisago Lakes, which were named after the Chippewa word for “large lake.”
History
The area that is now Chisago County was originally inhabited by the Ojibwe people. The first European settlers arrived in the area in the early 1800s, and the county was officially established in 1851. The county was initially divided into two townships, Chisago and Rush Point. The first county seat was located in Rush Point, but it was moved to Center City in 1858.
The county experienced rapid growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the logging and farming industries flourished. The county was also home to several resorts, which attracted visitors from the Twin Cities and beyond. The county’s population peaked in the 1950s, but has since declined due to the decline of the logging and farming industries.
