Etymology - Origin of County Name
The original Renville County as created by the 1872-73
territorial legislature, but due to a lack of settlement, was dissolved in 1891.
The name was revived as part of a proposal to partition Ward County at the
November 1908 general election. Though supposedly defeated at the polls, the
matter was litigated to a successful conclusion in July 1910, when a new
Renville County was officially declared created.

The history of our nation can be seen as a prolonged struggle to define the relative roles and powers of our governments: federal, state, and local. And the names we've given our counties, our most locally based jurisdictions, reflects the "characteristic
features of our country!"
But age, size and colorful names of our counties isn't the only reason to explore counties' role in American history, or the history of county government itself. In fact, the story of county government reflects the larger meanings of American history.
Today's counties are the most flexible, locally responsive and creative governments in the US. They are the most diverse, varying in size, population, geography, and governmental structure. In their politics and policies, they express a 1990's political slogan "Think globally,
act locally." |
