About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Long Description:
A board of three county commissioners met on January 1, 1872 in Yellow Medicine City, which was then the largest settlement. John Winter settled there in 1866 and in 1868 Hoxie established a store and Gorham Powers a law office. In 1869 George Olds platted a village, a stage station and a brick hotel were built and Joseph Fortier opened another store. A post office and a mail route to Redwood Falls was established in 1870. In January 1872 Yellow Medicine City, with a population of 40 became the county seat. The county seat of government was moved to Granite Falls in 1874. Yellow Medicine City was abandoned in 1878.
