WALSH COUNTY

General Info

Walsh County was named in honor of George H. Walsh (1845–1913), a newspaperman and politician in Grand Forks. In 1881 Grafton became the county seat of Walsh. Walsh County’s first settler was named Alexander Henry, an employee of the Northwest Fur Trading Company. They came to secure pelts from the Chippewa Indians in 1800. Beaver fur felt was in high demand in the East and in Europe because of its ability to shape well. Henry built the first settlement in Walsh County in 1801. Alexander Henry was the first to bring many things to Walsh County including horses, bridges, cultivated crops and British Flags. Henry married a Chippewa chief’s daughter and later went on to build the Red River ox cart that became the Valley’s freight wagons for over 50 years. As of 2010 Walsh County’s population was 11,119.
