Zemple was officially organized in 1911, with the first village
council meeting held in June.
Early Zemple was a place where the
former Minneapolis and Rainy River Railway had a roundhouse with 12
engines. Zemple had a store, a school (which closed in 1928), and a
church.
The town was named for R. T. Zempel, who owned most of
the land and was elected the first village president. The Zempels had a
farm on the south end of the village. Other early residents included
Martindales, Mayos, Simons, Nordahls, Dahls, Spragues, Johtonens,
Nellis, Robertson, Blum, Reed, Folsom, Newkirks, Wrights and Berghs.
Lumber was the main industry in Zemple. There was a big sawmill on
White Oak Point (a part of the Mississippi River), where logs where
floated down to the sawmill. There was a planing mill, a veneer mill and
a box mill, all of which burned down in later years. Excerpted from the
Deer River Centennial History
