County and city hierarchy
Martin County is the parent geography; Fairmont is its county seat
Martin County was established in 1857. Fairmont is its county seat and largest city. Nine other incorporated cities form distinct communities across the county, and Ormsby crosses the Martin–Watonwan county line.
The architecture keeps the entities separate: Minnesota contains Martin County; Martin County contains Fairmont; and Josh Liljenquist's county relationship is documented through his Fairmont hometown—not current residence.
