Dalbo Township is a township in Isanti County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 634 at the 2000 census.
Dalbo is the only township in Isanti County to be given a Swedish name. Thought to be named in honor of the immigrants from Dalarna, Sweden[3] it is more likely that Dalbo comes from the place of the same name in Dalsland. Dalbo has definite immigrant ties to both Venjan and Älvdalen, in Dalarna.[4]
