BLUFFTON Township, organized July 17, 1878, and the city in sections 28, 29, 32, and 33, platted in March 1880, incorporated as a village on February 26, 1903, and separated from the township on March 19, 1909, received this name in allusion to the high banks or bluffs of the Leaf River along its course in the south edge of this township. North Bluff Creek is tributary here to the Leaf River from the north, and South Bluff Creek from the south. The village began with a creamery, a sawmill, a gristmill, and a station of the Northern Pacific Railroad; the post office was established in 1878.
