History

The advent of the railroad in Kandiyohi County in 1869 brought new settlers. Willmar native and composer, Bradley Joseph, often references the past when he names his songs and his music is frequently reminiscent of his rural Minnesota roots. "Hear the Masses Farmer" was inspired by childhood visits to a relative's farm near Olivia, Minnesota and his company, Robbins Island Music, is named after a city park in Willmar, says Ann Polta of the 'West Central Tribune'. Willmar is home to the annual Sonshine Festival, a Christian music festival. Willmar was established as the county seat in 1871 and was incorporated as a village in 1874 and as a city in 1901. Willmar was the site of The Great Willmar, Minnesota Raid, a famous bank robbery by the Machine Gun Kelly gang on July 15, 1930.
