HALSTAD Township, organized in 1879, and its city in sections 19 and 30, were named for Ole Halstad, a pioneer farmer, who came from Norway.

The city was platted in 1883 and incorporated as a village on February 13, 1893; a post office was established in 1884, with Erik K. Brandt, postmaster, and it had a station of the Great Northern Railway.
