Biographical / Historical

The Village of Floodwood was an agricultural community. A vote on May 10, 1899, resulted in incorporation. November 4, 1914, the village and town lands were separated for tax purposes. Floodwood Township is agricultural, potatoes being the largest crop. There was a strong agricultural cooperative which pooled products shipped to other markets, and items needed were brought collectively, at wholesale prices, through the society. The creamery was organized in May 1911, by the farmers.
