The Vermillion River defines the setting of Vermillion Township — its course through southern Dakota County links cropland, woodlots and scattered rural homes. Located between the Twin Cities and the Mississippi River valley, the township has retained a distinctly agricultural character despite the metropolitan area’s growth. Its name comes from the river, a long-standing geographic reference in this part of Minnesota. Country roads rather than a dense downtown set the rhythm here, while open fields make the changes of the seasons especially clear.
