GOODRIDGE Township and its city, in section 21, are named for a broad but very low ridge, only a few feet above the adjoining areas at each side, which reaches from the village about four miles southeastward. The city was incorporated as a village on August 19, 1915; it developed when the Minnesota and Northwestern Railway came in 1914 and was platted that year by Northern Townsite Company. Jay Payne was the first mayor; Payne and his wife, Jennie Noble Payne, came to Cloverleaf Township in 1905, purchasing a stone and lumber claim, then moved to Goodridge in 1915; Jennie Payne was born in New York in 1875, came to Minnesota in 1890, and was postmaster for 19 years beginning when the post office was established in 1915.
