This farm was first settled by Ole O. Groff on the NE quarter of Section 24, in 1884. Thor Olson also homesteaded here on Section 24.
There is also evidence of two cellars where earlier settlers had lived for a short time.
An Indian camp was located on this farm. The Hudson's Bay Company had a trading post west of where the present buildings are now located.
