LENGBY, a city in sections 28 and 33 of Columbia Township, was incorporated as a village on March 9, 1904; it was first settled about 1883 when Swedish settlers arrived. The post office was established in 1890 as Columbia in section 21, with Carl Hasselton as postmaster. In 1898 when the Great Northern Railway came and the first buildings were erected, the post office was changed to Lengby, a distortion of Lindby, as it was supposed to be named to honor a local settler named Lindahl with the addition of the Swedish by, meaning "village."
