BOWLUS, a city in sections 11-14 of Two Rivers Township, platted in July 1907, was named by officers of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad (Soo Line). It was incorporated as a village on September 8, 1908, and separated from the township on February 27, 1919. The Soo Line came in 1907, the same year the post office opened, and the townsite was platted by Tri-State Land Company on land originally owned by Henry Armstrong, Sr., whose son developed the post office of Stella.
