History
Kandiyohi was laid out in 1869, when the railroad was extended to that point.[3] In 1869 the Minnesota legislature voted Kandiyohi to be the new state capital due to its central location. The bill was vetoed by governor William Rainey Marshall on the grounds that "[t]he western treeless districts" further out from Kandiyohi would place the capital away from the likely population center.[4]
Kandiyohi was derived from a Sioux name meaning "where the buffalo fish come from".[5]
