History

The county was created on February 26, 1883, with territory partitioned from Cass County. It was named for Lucius Frederick Hubbard, a prominent Territory editor, Civil War participant, and businessman who was governor of Minnesota from 1882 to 1887.[4][5] The county's boundaries have remained unchanged since its creation.

The new county's courthouse was destroyed by fire around 1890, but the public records were salvaged.
