History:   

WENDELL, a city in Stony Brook Township, platted in July 1889 and incorporated on March 3, 1904, as a village, received its name from the railway officials when the road was being built, with the location of a depot there in 1887. It was possibly named for Joseph H. Wendell, a judge in Wright County. Its post office began in 1887 with John A. Beck as first postmaster in his store. It is also the name of a town in Massachusetts and a village in North Carolina.
