About Loman

Two important rivers meet right at Loman: the Rainy River and the Black River. Other small places nearby include Indus, Pelland, and Littlefork.

A Look Back in Time
Loman has had a US Post Office in operation since 1901. The very first postmaster, or person in charge of the post office, was Miss Jennie Mourhess.
The community of Loman was named after the people who first settled there. These early pioneers were George W. Loman and his wife, Mary M. McFarland.
