COMMUNITY HISTORY

An early Otter Tail County settlement known as Peace Prairie was the forerunner of the city of Henning, which was platted in 1881. The railroad was a major influence on the community in its early years as the Northern Pacific and Soo Line intersected in Henning.

Henning area farmers made a name for themselves in the wheat market in the late 1800's, while dairying became an important industry in the area before the turn of the century, paving the way for the diversity in farming that exists here today.

Geographically, Henning is located at the intersection of Minnesota Highways 210 and 108 in the southeastern part of Otter Tail County in west-central Minnesota. The community is about 150 miles northwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul and about 90 miles southeast of Fargo/Moorhead.
