From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

IVANHOE, a city in Royal Township, section 34, was named by officers of the Chicago and North Western Railway for the hero of the novel thus titled, written by Sir Walter Scott. It was platted by the Western Town Lot Company in 1889 on land owned by Mike Pukrop; many of the streets were also named for characters in the novel. The post office was first called Wilno, 1883-1901, at which time it was changed to Ivanhoe. It was incorporated as a village on January 22, 1901, and as a city in 1968. It succeeded Lake Benton as the county seat in 1902, officially since August 5, 1904.
