BARNESVILLE Township was named after its railway village, which was established in 1874 by George S. Barnes, a farmer and wheat merchant, who owned and managed a very large farm near Glyndon and died there about the year 1910. Barnes built the first store, became president of North Pacific Grain Company, organized the Northern Pacific Elevator Company, and was responsible for construction of grain elevators along the Northern Pacific Railroad from St. Paul to Tacoma, Washington. The village was incorporated November 4, 1881, and received its charter as a city April 4, 1889; the post office began in 1877, and the village was platted in 1882. Hostile feelings among some settlers created a New Barnesville in 1883, formally organized in 1886, but reunited with Barnesville in 1889; the community served as an important agricultural market for the southern part of the county.
