HOLDINGFORD, a city in section 17 of Holding Township; the village incorporated on October 23, 1896, merging two sites: the Soo Line railroad station of Holdingford and the village named Wardeville for Dr. A. G. Warde, a Minneapolis physician, who had purchased the land and platted the townsite. The post office was established in 1872 as Holding's Ford and was changed to Holdingford in 1894.
