FUN FAct
The first historical marker in the county was erected in 1981 for Captain Cady, an army officer assigned to patrol the frontier from Hutchinson to the Red River. In June of 1863 the captain with a patrol of three soldiers came upon a party of Dakota in the Kandiyohi Lakes Country and after a short chase and firefight the captain was shot through the heart. This marker is located 7 miles south of Atwater on County Road 2, then 1.5 miles west of County Road 20. Historical Marker number 301.
