Henderson is a town in Sibley County, Minnesota, United States.

In the following years, Henderson quickly became a major distribution center for the inland settlements surrounding the Minnesota River Valley.

The seat for Sibley County was originally established in Henderson, and an imposing courthouse was erected, being put into service in 1879.

But pressure from residents of Gaylord, from as far back as 1887, to gain the county seat precipitated a 1915 countywide vote that resulted in Gaylord gaining the seat; this caused around 200 residents to leave Henderson, a major decline in the town's population.

During the 50 years after that population loss, Henderson's economy increasingly centered on agriculture.

Its success in transitioning to agriculture brought rise to the present Sauerkraut Days celebration.

This land became Allanson's Park, which today has 15+ camping sites for tents, campers and RV's, a picnic shelter and playground.

It is the home field to the Le Sueur-Henderson High School Girls Fast pitch team.

MNCS High School is on Main Street and teaches grades 6–12.

It is an online high school that utilizes project-based learning with student enrollment from all over Minnesota.

Henderson is in Minnesota's 7th congressional district, represented by Michelle Fischbach.
