QUAMBA, a city in Whited Township, platted in 1901 by Oric Ogilvie Whited, and incorporated as a village on July 11, 1952. It was first established in 1882 on the side track of the Great Northern Railway and known as Mud Creek for the creek that the tracks crossed; when the depot was built, the name was changed to Quamba, which according to the railway officials was an Indian word for "mudhole." Its post office operated 1901-3 and 1906-66, at which time it changed to a rural branch.
