History

Long Prairie’s history dates back to the time when the land was inhabited first by the Sioux/Dakota and then Anishinaabe/ Ojibwe Native American tribes. In 1845, the U.S. government selected the location known as Long Prairie as a site for a USA Indian agency. An 1846 treaty with the Winnebago briefly resettled the nation in what is now Long Prairie, from the Neutral Ground in northeast Iowa to which they had been removed in the 1830s as white settlers claimed and began developing their ancestral lands in Wisconsin and Illinois. A subsequent treaty in 1855 again resettled the Hochunk in southern Minnesota.

Long Prairie was platted in 1867, and named after the Long Prairie River.
