A Look Back: Erdahl's History

Erdahl has a simple but interesting past. The community was officially mapped out and planned, a process called "platting," way back in 1887.

Before that, a very important service, a post office, was set up in Erdahl in 1883. This post office helped people send and receive letters and packages for many years. It stayed open and served the community until 1954.
