Wing River (Leaf River tributary)

The Wing River rises in Wing River Lake in Elmo Township of southeastern Otter Tail County and flows generally northeastwardly through northwestern Todd and southern Wadena counties, past the town of Hewitt.

In 1847, lands south of the Leaf River were ceded by the Ojibwe to allow the United States to establish a homeland for the Menomini.

However, due to on-going and relentless skirmishes between the Ojibwe and the Dakota, the Menomini peoples declined the offers made by the United States and remained in Wisconsin.
