This area was long
inhabited by Algonquian-speaking tribes: the Ojibwe
(Chippewa), Ottawa and Potawatomi peoples were loosely
affiliated in the Council of Three Fires. As
European-American settlers entered the territory, the
Native Americans were pushed to outer areas.
St. Louis County was
founded by European Americans on February 20, 1855, as
Doty County, and had its name changed to Newton County
on March 3, 1855. It originally consisted of the area
east and south of the St. Louis River, while the area
east of the Vermilion River and north of the St. Louis
River was part of Superior County. Superior County was
renamed St. Louis County.
On March 1, 1856, that St. Louis
County was renamed as Lake County. Newton County was
renamed as St. Louis County and had that eastern area
added to it; it was also expanded westward by
incorporating parts of Itasca County, which then also
included most of Carlton County. On May 23, 1857, St.
Louis County took its current shape when Carlton County
was formed from parts of St. Louis and Pine
counties.
