Warman is a small, quiet community located in Minnesota, United States. It's an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's part of Peace Township in Kanabec County.
You can find Warman north of a town called Mora. It's close to where State Highway 65 meets Kanabec County Roads 24 and 25. Warman is about 13 miles north of Mora and 14 miles east-southeast of Isle. A stream called Snowshoe Brook flows right through the community. If you were to send mail to Warman, it would use the ZIP code 55051, which is based in Mora.
Discovering Warman's Past
Warman is found in sections 5 and 6 of Peace Township. This community got its name from S. M. Warman, who owned a granite quarry.
How Warman Started: Two Communities Become One
In 1907, S. M. Warman and his wife, Sarah J. Warman, planned out a community called Warman Creek. This was on the west side of what is now State Highway 65. Just a few days later, on July 23, 1907, another person named N. C. Pike from the Pike–Horning Granite Company planned a different community. His community was on the east side of the road and was called East Mora. Over time, these two small, separate communities grew together and became the single unincorporated community we know today as Warman.
Warman's Post Office Days
For a while, Warman even had its own post office! It opened in 1907, the same year the communities were planned. The post office served the area for 13 years before it closed down in 1920.
