The county seat is Austin. The county is named after John Edward Mower.

In 1852, Jacob McQuillin and his family settled what was to become Mower County. By 1855, the area had enough people to merit official formation and on March 1, 1856 Minnesota Governor Willis A. Gorman  signed the act organizing Mower County. The county was named in honor of John Edward Mower, a member of the territorial legislature.
