UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES

Cornell was platted in 1900/1901 when the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad passed through the county from Storm Lake to Jackson, MN before going on to Minneapolis. Cornell prospered with an elevator, telephone company, Post Office, General Merchandise Store, Methodist Church, roller skating rink, Cornell Shipping Association, Fire Department, and a school. The railroad left Cornell on April 20, 1936, and impacted many businesses. The school closed in 1967 and students were transferred to Webb or Sioux Rapids. The post office closed November 3, 1967, and became a rural route.

Langdon was platted in 1899 just after the railroad going north and by 1901 settlers were building around the railroad in present day Langdon.

Revealed at the end of 2022, we, along with F8 Creative, have worked to develop an updated logo that represents Clay County.

You may notice some familiar traits in the new logo. For instance, the square outline -- representative of Clay County’s square shape. Other features include patchwork and colors reminiscent of Clay County’s natural assets: grass green, harvest gold, sky blue and barn red, all invoking feelings of Americana - comfort, home and welcome.
