What is the country of origin for the Monson Lake State Park and the Dakota War of 1862?
Monson Lake State Park Monson Lake State Park is a state park of Minnesota, USA, originally established as a memorial to 13 Swedish American pioneers who were killed there in the Dakota War of 1862. A district of 1930s New Deal structures is on the National Register of Historic Places. Despite being nearly doubled in size in 2009, the state park remains one of Minnesota's smallest. It is located off Minnesota State Highway 9 just west of Sunburg and 20 mi northwest of Willmar. This seasonally-staffed park is managed from nearby Sibley State Park.
Lost Dakota Lost Dakota is a portion of land that was left over after the division of the Dakota Territory into other states in the late 19th century. About 11 square miles in size, the parcel was located at the tripoint between the modern states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. The patch of land existed as a remote exclave of Dakota Territory, 360 miles west of the rest of the territory. In 1873, it was transferred to Gallatin County, Montana Territory. Lost Dakota is extremely remote from civilization and completely undeveloped, without a road or even a footpath as of 2010.
