A Look Back: Hendrum's Story

However, there were some problems with the railroad company. Because of this, the village was moved to its current location. The name "Hendrum" comes from a town in Norway called Hindrumgaard. This was the hometown of Johannes Hagen, an early settler. The village officially became a city in 1891.
