Its county seat is
Willmar. Kandiyohi County is named after a Dakota word
meaning "where the buffalo fish come" (kandi’ - the
buffalo fish + oh-hi’-yu - v. of hiyu - to come
through). Kandiyohi County was organized in 1858 with
its county seat in Kandiyohi, which was then called
Kandiyohi Station and was just a railroad stop. The
original county occupied only the southern half of its
current area. Development was slow, and in 1870 the
state legislature called for Monongalia County to merge
with Kandiyohi and make one larger county. It took until
21 November 1871 to agree on the centrally-located
Willmar as the county seat.
