McGRATH, a city in Williams Township, section 5; incorporated as a village on March 23, 1923, and separated from the township on August 8, 1923. James E. McGrath, who had 17 logging camps on the Snake River and Chesley Brook, began work in the area about 1895, and in 1907 donated 40 acres for a town site, which the Patterson Land Company platted as Elmwood; renamed McGrath at the time the post office was established in 1908.

Recreation:
Solana State Forest OHV Trails
7.5 miles north of McGrath on Highway 65

The terrain in the forest is mostly level to gently rolling and contains many swampy areas. Slightly over half of the area within the forest is wetland. Timber harvesting, reforestation, and wildlife habitat improvement occur throughout this forest. There are no campgrounds within the forest, however dispersed camping is allowed provided state forest rules are followed. The White Pine forest road is the main connector between the trails located east and west of State Highway 65. In 2008, a 13 mile loop will be completed that will connect with the existing Soo Line ATV (all-terrain-vehicle) Trail.
