McLeod County is a county located in the U.S. state of Minnesota. At the 2010 census, the population was 36,651.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/27/27085.html )〕 Its county seat is Glencoe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 McLeod County comprises the Hutchinson, MN Micropolitan Statistical Area and is included in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI Combined Statistical Area. ==History== For thousands of years the area was inhabited by indigenous peoples. At the time of European contact, it was the territory of the Dakota Sioux. The county was named after Martin McLeod, a Canadian-born adventurer who became a fur trader and later was elected a territorial representative (1849–1856) in Minnesota. As a young man, he was part of the notable James Dickson 1836 expedition to the Red River of the North, a journey recounted in his ''Diary of Martin McLeod'', a manuscript held by the Minnesota Historical Society.〔(Charles J. Ritchey, "Martin McLeod and the Minnesota Valley" ), ''Minnesota History Magazine'', December 1929, accessed 21 June 2010〕 The county was the site of several events during the Dakota War of 1862, including the siege of Hutchinson and the killing of the White family near Brownton. It was also the first place to use the Geier Hitch, a kind of animal husbandry that some observers characterize as animal abuse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「McLeod County, Minnesota」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
