Montevideo is a city in Chippewa County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 5,383 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Chippewa County. ==History== During the 18th century, Europeans established a fur-trading post near the rivers and traded with Native Americans in the area. Montevideo was platted in 1870, and incorporated as a city in 1908. On the edge of Montevideo, along U.S. Highway 212, stands the Camp Release State Monument. The Minnesota River Valley and Montevideo played an integral part in the United States - Dakota Conflict of 1862. At this site in the fall of 1862, the Dakota combatants surrendered and released 269 captives to Colonel Henry Sibley. The Camp Release Monument was dedicated on July 4, 1894. In 2004, the city was honored with the presentation of the National Civic League's All-America City Award, which is given to only ten cities a year. The award is the oldest and most respected community recognition program in the nation and recognizes communities whose citizens work together to identify and tackle community-wide challenges and achieve uncommon results. Montevideo's sister city is Montevideo, Uruguay. In 1949 a statue of José Artigas, a "caudillo", was given to the Minnesota community by Uruguayan citizens. Each year Montevideo marks Fiesta Days in honor of its association with its sister city. Montevideo continues with a long term relationship with Montevideo, Uruguay. 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「Montevideo, Minnesota」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
