From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

SOBIESKI, a city in sections 3-9 of Swan River Township, was incorporated as a village on December 2, 1915, and separated from the township on June 10, 1920. It was developed on the site of earlier communities; the first was a post office in section 4, 1875-1904, called Ledoux for Frank X. Ledoux, who owned a store and was first postmaster; the community was then called Swan River, although that post office, 1854-79, was established in Benton County, the name continuing until 1918 when changed to Sobieski for Prince Sobieski, hero of Poland; Swan River was also known as Green's Ferry and Aitkinsville, the latter because William A. Aitkin, the fur trader for whom Aitkin County was named, is buried there.
