Home to nearly one hundred and fifty thousand people, Olmsted County, Minnesota, is a well-established place with a long history and rich heritage. Founded in 1855, the county was named after the first mayor of St. Paul, David Olmsted. It comprises six hundred and fifty-five square miles, of which only a mile-and-a-half square miles is water.

Those bodies of water include part of Lake Zumbro in Oronoco Township, Silver Lake in Cascade and Haverhill Townships, Mayowood Lake and Lake George in Rochester Township, Lake Florence in High Forest Township, and Chester Lake in Eyota Township. Other townships in Olmsted County include Farmington, Elmira, and Dover.
The largest city in Olmsted County is also its county seat, Rochester. Other cities include Stewartville, part of Pine Island, Oronoco, Eyota, Dover, part of Chatfield, and Byron. In addition to all of those communities, Olmsted County also encompasses numerous significant transportation routes, including Olmsted County Highway 22, Minnesota State Highway 247, Minnesota State Highway 74, Minnesota State Highway 42, Minnesota State Highway 30, U.S. Highway 63, U.S. Highway 52, U.S. Highway 14, and Interstate 90. Furthermore, the county is adjacent to Goodhue to the northwest, Dodge County to the west, Mower County to the southwest, Fillmore County to the south, Winona County to the east, and Wabasha County to the north.
