Hampton Township straddles U.S. Route 52 in southeastern Minnesota, a transport corridor that links its open farmland to the wider Twin Cities region. The township sits in Dakota County, whose eastern boundary follows the Mississippi River; fields, shelterbelts and widely spaced homes set the rhythm here rather than an urban centre. The nearby city of Hampton provides a local focal point, while roads lead south toward Goodhue County and north toward the metropolitan area. Dakota County takes its name from the Dakota people, whose homelands include this part of Minnesota. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Hampton Township and Dakota County.
