History:  

NEBISH Township and its lake of this name are from the Ojibwe word anibish, tea, the much relished drink alike of the white settlers and the Indians. The village in section 35 was established in 1898 on the northeast shore of Nebish Lake by Haaversen and Richards, lumbermen who contracted to log for the Crookston Lumber Company; when a spur railroad line was built to Whitefish Lake, a new town was created called Whitefish Junction; in 1905 that line was extended to Bemidji, and in 1913, the site was platted and became the new Nebish. The post office operated 1898-1959 and as a rural branch until 1963; a station of the Minneapolis, Red Lake and Manitoba Railroad was in section 27.

NEBISH. Nebish is seven miles north of Buena Vista on Beltrami County 15, at its junction with County 32. Old Nebish, as the first town came to be called, began on the shores of Lake Nebish. It got its post office in 1898, and stage service was established between Nebish and Buena Vista. Nebish was the first southern terminus of the Red Lake Railway, the logging road that ran from Nebish to Redby on Red Lake.

In 1905. It was 3/4 of a mile northwest of the present Nebish and south to the lake. C.W.Highshoe, who came to Nebish about 1920, wrote, "I was going to write a story about Old Nebish once, but when I got at it there was nothing to write; it was just a logging camp." Highshoe explains why Nebish moved:

In 1905. the railroad was extended from Nebish into Bemidji. The town moved up to the corner where it is now about 1912.

I will tell you just what happened. Wilbur Nebish had a land company . . . . the land company said they would give five acres for a graveyard if they would move the townsite to where it is now, and of course, they did.

Information on Old Nebish from C.W.Highshoe, "Old Nebish," North Country (1979), pp.86-88. © Hilda R.Rachuy 1979.

Old Nebish developed into a town after it moved to its present location in 1912. In 1905. the railroad had been extended from Nebish into Bemidji. The new Nebish became a prosperous town, an agricultural center, the destination of many hard-working immigrants. Nebish began to decline after The Minneapolis, Red Lake, and Manitoba Railway( the official title) closed its operation and its tracks were removed in 1939.

We are the 3rd generation to be on this family farm. Its' farming history includes milk cows, hogs, beef cattle and now specialty crops.  We have been growing strawberries since 1989 and we had visions of adding a restaurant which we were able to do in 1995.  We have a full service restaurant that is open along with our berry picking hours of 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to noon, providing a variety of breakfast and lunch items for both eating in or take-out. We also offer fresh on the farm made in our own kitchen in small batches strawberry and raspberry jams, pumpkin butter, and jalapeno jelly.
