The History of Starbuck
Starbuck was first planned as a village in the spring of 1882. It was built along the Northern Pacific railway, right next to Lake Minnewaska. For many years, it was hard for Pope County to grow. This was because there were no good train lines or shipping options. Settlers had to travel far to sell their goods.
How Starbuck Got Its Name
The town's name might come from a place called Stabekk in Norway. However, a book called Geographical Names of Manitoba has another idea. It says that the village of Starbuck, Manitoba, in Canada, was named after Starbuck, Minnesota. This happened in 1885 by a railway worker.
The book also suggests that Starbuck, Minnesota, was named after William H. Starbuck. He was from New York and helped pay for the Little Falls and Dakota Railroad. Some people also believe the town was named after two oxen. These oxen were named Star and Buck and helped build the railroad.
