The Minnesota city of Jackson is the seat of Jackson County. The first European settlers, William, George, and Charles Wood, were brothers from Indiana who arrived in 1856, when they started a trading post. They named the town Springfield due to the fact that there was a spring near their cabin. In 1857, an Indian attack killed many of the settlers, among them William and George, and the remaining townspeople left for Fort Dodge. It was repopulated and renamed Jackson in 1865.
