Fergus Falls, Minnesota is the county seat of Otter Tail County. It is named for James Fergus, who was the boss of the Scottish trapper, Joe Whitford, who discovered the area in 1856. Whitford was killed in the 1862 Sioux uprising, and in 1867, George Wright found the lapsed claim and bought the land. The city was incorporated in the latter half of the 1870s.
