History:

McIntosh, a city in sections 9, 10, and 16 of King Township, was named for Angus J. McIntosh, the owner of a part of the village site. He built a store and lodging house one and a half miles east of the present townsite, where he was postmaster when the post office began in 1884; he purchased land in the new townsite and lived there for a number of years before moving to Detroit Lakes, where he died in 1923. The city was incorporated as a village in April 1891 and reincorporated and separated from the township on July 11, 1911. The city includes the area formerly called King, which was principally a post office, 1883-89, in section 10 in the store of Ephraim King, three miles northeast of McIntosh, which consolidated with McIntosh in 1889. It had a Great Northern Railway station.
