History:

PLUMMER, a city in sections 4, 8, 9, and 10 of Emardville, incorporated as a village on February 14, 1905, received its name in honor of Charles A. Plummer, who about the year 1881 built a sawmill and gristmill on the Clearwater River near the site of this village. He removed to Iowa. The city was platted in 1904 when the Soo Line came; when the post office was established in 1903, the name Scotland was requested after the Hotel Scotland, but because there was already a village by that name, Plummer was chosen; the hotel changed its name to Hotel Plummer shortly after. Hubert H. Finrow, later a mayor of the village, was first postmaster at a site west of the present village; the village moved to the present site in 1904.
