History

Willmar was established as the county seat in 1871 and was incorporated as a village in 1874 and as a city in 1901. The advent of the railroad in Kandiyohi County in 1869 brought new settlers. Willmar was the site of The Great Willmar, Minnesota Raid, a famous bank robbery by the Machine Gun Kelly gang on July 15, 1930. The Dakota War of 1862 left the township abandoned for several years. The first settlers arrived during the 1850s attracted to the fertile land and an abundance of timber and game.
