Hutchinson| City and seat of Reno County, in south-central Kansas, on the Arkansas River, 64 km/40 mi northwest of Wichita; population (2000) 40,800. The city was established in 1871, and grew in 1887 after the discovery of salt in the area, many of whose mines are still active. |
| Exhausted salt mines in Hutchinson have been converted into high-security storage facilities for business records and other valuable documents. Wheat, oil, cattle, and related products and light manufactures also contribute to the local economy. The Kansas State Fair is held in the city, which is also the site of Hutchinson Community College (founded 1928). |
Hutchinson| City in McLeod County, southeastern Minnesota, 90 km/56 mi west of Minneapolis; population (1990) 11,500. It was founded in 1855 by three abolitionist brothers named Hutchinson. |
| Several skirmishes during the Sioux Uprising of 1862 took place in the vicinity of Hutchinson. The city is now the centre of a dairy-farming region, and also home to several high-tech industries. |

| Hutchinson presided at these meetings, sitting with great state and dignity in Grandfather's chair. This rose-bush, by a strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally overshadowed it, or whether, as there is far authority for believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann Hutchinson as she entered the prison-door, we shall not take upon us to determine. Following the mimic representative of Hutchinson came a military figure, holding before his face the cocked hat which he had taken from his powdered head; but his epaulettes and other insignia of rank were those of a general officer, and something in his mien reminded the beholders of one who had recently been master of the Province House, and chief of all the land. |
