History:
VACATIONER'S PARADISE
Walker (1,336 alt., 939 pop.), Cass County seat, is located
in the southwest corner of Chippewa National Forest, on an Indian
reservation (see Cass Lake), and along the shores of historic Leech
Lake.
Indians have lived along the pine-covered shores of this
lake for centuries. The first white men to penetrate the area bought
pelts from them, and soon fur-trading posts were established. One of
these posts stood a few miles from the site of the present Walker, on a
point jutting into Leech Lake.
When Cass County was established in 1851, the influx of
lumbermen already had begun. Thomas Barlow Walker in 1868 purchased a
large stand of pine in the vicinity. A few years later, he sold the
ground on which the village was built to the Leech Lake Land Company,
reserving rights to the timber. After the village was established and
named in his honor (incorporated 1896), he sent in his timber cutters.
The settlers protested, and their attempt to drive the cutters out was
the cause of bitter resentment for many years.
In 1897, the Park Rapids and Leech Lake Railroad was
constructed between Park Rapids, Walker, and Cass Lake and, in 1899, was
leased to the Great Northern; in 1900, the Minnesota and International
was extended to Walker, and took over the Brainerd and Northern in 1901
(see Brainerd).
The soil, a mixed black, brown, and sandy clay, is adapted
to the raising of small grains, potatoes, and grasses. Dairying has
become the leading industry; an independent creamery began operations in
1923.
The county offices, jail, and sheriff's residence are in
the modern Cass County Courthouse (Minnesota Ave. bet. 3rd and 4th
Sts.), and the municipal offices are in the Village Hall (6th St. bet.
Minnesota Ave. and Front St.), erected in 1937. Pupils from the rural
areas are brought by bus to the Walker Public School (cor. Highland Ave.
and 4th St.), a brick structure. The Walker Museum (Minnesota Ave. bet.
2nd and 3rd Sts.), started in 1894, contains a collection of native
animals and birds. In the Conservation Building, Indian bead work and
articles of handicraft are made and displayed.
Herds on the 1,000-acre Tianna Farms (State 34, 5 miles
south) include 100 purebred Guernsey and 50 Aberdeen Angus cattle that
have set State and national records. Approximately 75 per cent of the
Guernseys have the blood of La Noce of Riverside Farm, first
Guernsey-bred cow to make a world's production record (see Barnum).
Walker is in the center of the region known as the Paul
Bunyan Playground (see Brainerd; Bemidji), which each year attracts
vacationists, fishermen, and hunters to its lakes. Summer resorts, built
to accommodate a steadily increasing tourist trade, furnish launch
service and provide both Indian and white guides.

WALKER,
a city and the county seat, located on Leech Lake, Shingobee Township,
sections 21 and 22, was named in honor of Thomas
Barlow Walker, who had large lumbering and land interests in
Cass County and in several other counties of northern Minnesota. He was
born in Xenia, Ohio, February 1, 1840, came to Minnesota in 1862 and was
the surveyor of parts of the St. Paul and Duluth Railway line, commenced
in 1868 the purchase of great tracts of pine lands, and later built and
operated, in Crookston and elsewhere, many large lumber mills. He
resided in Minneapolis and maintained a very valuable and choice art
gallery to which the public were freely welcomed. An autobiographic
paper by Mr. Walker is published in the MHS Collections ([1915] 15:
455-78, with his portrait).
The city was incorporated as a village
on March 10, 1896, and its post office also opened in 1896. In its early
development, the site was a resort community with abundant hunting and
fishing in very scenic surroundings. In 1900 Fort Walker was at this
location with Lieut. A. B. Downworth, commander. The village had a
station of the Great Northern Railway in section 22.
