BIRCHDALE, a village in section 3 of T. 159N, R. 27W (Sault), was named for the many groves of white birch found there in early days, as suggested by Mae Whitney Buell. It was settled primarily by Scandinavians beginning in 1899; it had a station of the Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific Railway; its post office was first established in Itasca County in 1906 in the home of postmaster Herbert T. Whitcomb.
