History:

MAGNOLIA Township, organized November 27, 1872, was named for the township and village of Magnolia in Rock County, Wis., on suggestion of Philo Hawes, who had lived there. The city of this name, platted in October 1891, was incorporated September 4, 1894. When first established as a station in 1877, it was called Drake for Hon. Elias F. Drake of St. Paul, president of the Minnesota Valley Railroad, who owned a large farm here, but on May 2, 1886, the name was officially changed to that of the township. A post office was established in 1886 in section 14, following the transfer of the post office called Westside in Nobles County, with Ira E. Crosby, first merchant, as postmaster.
