Bordering the Lac qui Parle Lake and Minnesota River, I am a county in southwestern Minnesota and was established in the year 1870, making me over 150 years old! I am so tantalizingly close to South Dakota; I'm only about 20 miles (32.2 kilometers) away. State Roads 7, 23, 29, 40, and 277 as well as U.S. Routes 49 and 212 are major highways, and I'm named after a Native American tribal group. My neighbors are Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Renville, Swift (not Taylor Swift, though...I wish!), and Yellow Medicine counties. With approximately 5,000 residents, the town of Montevideo serves as my county seat and shares the same name as URUGUAY's national capital. What in the World is my name? Choose an option and find out below!

Answer: B — my name is Chippewa County
Happy Mother's Day!
