AUDUBON Township was organized August 19, 1871, but was named successively Windom, Colfax, and Oak Lake, holding the last of these names from 1872 until 1881. The Northern Pacific station and village established here, also the small lake adjoining the village site, had received the name Audubon in August 1871 in honor of John James Audubon (1780-1851), the great American ornithologist celebrated for his pictures of birds. This name was proposed by his niece, a member of a party of tourists who "camped where the Audubon depot now stands." In January 1881 the township name was changed to Audubon, and on February 23 of that year the village was incorporated.
