It is part of the Mankato-North Mankato Metropolitan Statistical Area. The place occupied by the current town was named Courtland in 1865, but was previously named Hilo. Courtland was platted in 1882. There are conflicting records for the origin of the name. According to Bryant the city was named for Cortland County, New York and not spelled the same; however, Stennett suggests it is named after Courland, a once-Germanized region of present-day Latvia by an emigrant, J.H. Stewart, and was accidentally misspelled on the official record.
