Willmar is the county seat of Kandiyohi County, so it is unsurprising that the city is equipped with a monument to their patron, a native american represented as a fisherman wielding a peavey.
The image first became part of Willmar in when it appeared as the Kandiyohi County Bank symbol. That same year artist Eben E. In Bank of Willmar President, Norman Tallakson, contracted to have a golden foot statue created of the symbol.
It was then mounted on the bank overlooking Litchfield Avenue for 27 years. The statue of Chief Kandiyohi is holding a buffalo fish. Legend has it that when the first explorers arrived in this region, they asked the Native-Americans what this area was called.
The natives misunderstood, and thought the men were asking what kind of fish were in a local lake. Stop by any of our offices , give us a call at , or contact us.
