Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Warroad is a city in Roseau County, Minnesota, United States, at the southwest corner of Lake of the Woods, 7.5 miles (12.1 km) south of the border with Canada. The population was 1,781 at the 2010 census. Warroad had its own newspaper before it was incorporated in 1901.
Minnesota State Highways 11 and 313 are two of the main routes in the community. Warroad was once one of the largest Chippewa villages on Lake of the Woods. The Chippewa fought a long and fierce war against the Sioux for the lake's rice fields. Occupying the prairies of the Red River Valley, the Sioux would frequently invade the territory by way of the Red and Roseau Rivers, a route which ended at the mouth of the Warroad River. This was the old "war road" from which the river and village derived their name. In the 20th century, the town had a strong commercial fishing industry, which gradually turned to sport fishing and tourism. For many years, commercial boats provided regular service to the islands and to Kenora, Ontario, at the north end of Lake of the Woods. Warroad is known for the great fishing on Lake of the Woods. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warroad,_Minnesota en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
