Longville, Minnesota

Longville pronunciationⓘ is a city in Cass County, Minnesota, United States.

During the last glacial period, massive ice sheets at least 0.62 miles (1 km) thick ravaged the state's landscape and sculpted its terrain.

[7] These glaciers covered all of Minnesota except the far southeast, an area characterized by steep hills and streams that cut into the bedrock.

Since the landscape is going through post-glacial rebound, it is poorly drained, creating Cass County's numerous lakes and rivers.

Longville's cultural landscape and its surrounding lands can be characterized as seasonal and recreational.

The area was inhabited for thousands of years by succeeding cultures of Indians.

Before European settlement, the Ojibwe moved into the area from the Great Lakes, pushing out the historic Dakota peoples, such as the Assiniboine and Hidatsa.

[citation needed] As of the census[9] of 2010, there were 156 people, 92 households, and 41 families residing in the city.

48.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 35.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

The racial makeup of the city was 96.11% White, 3.33% Native American, and 0.56% from two or more races.

48.5% of all households were made up of individuals, and 35.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

None of the families and 5.3% of the population were living below the poverty line, including no under eighteens and 6.2% of those over 64.
