welcome to detroit lakes

Greetings: On behalf of the City Council and all of the citizens of Detroit Lakes I would like to extend a warm welcome to our city. We are located just 40 minutes east of Fargo-Moorhead in beautiful Minnesota lake country. With the combination of adjacent prairie, abundant woodlands and lakes it makes an ideal place to live and work. In addition to the wonderful setting, Detroit Lakes features a top rated school system, excellent medical facilities, adequate housing and numerous parks and recreational facilities.

Our economic base is solid and stable with a good mix of manufacturing, tourism, agriculture and retail. In addition, we are a regional hub for many service type businesses. Detroit Lakes has achieved the status of “Minnesota Star City” due to our many economic development programs.

Detroit Lakes is the home to the Northwest Water Carnival, We Fest Country Music Festival, Pine to Palm Golf Tournament and Polar Fest. In fact, our community averages one special event per week throughout the year!

With the many attractions offered by Detroit Lakes, I encourage you to take some time to explore our website and its links. One thing you don’t want to miss is our famous mile long city beach!

If there is anything I can do to help you become better acquainted with Detroit Lakes, please give me a call or an e-mail.

Sincerely,

Matt Brenk, Mayor

Welcome to Becker County!

If you are new to the area, you’ll be delighted to find sparkling waters, inviting forests and wetland sanctuaries. Our many lakes and rivers beckon you to take a swim, cast a line or just tour on a slow-moving pontoon.

Summers are filled with days of festivals, golfing, swimming and enjoying life at the lake. In the winter we are a destination for snowmobiles, cross country skiing and ice fishing.

Becker County prides itself in its deep history of agriculture, tourism and business. We offer small town hospitality with big city amenities including arts, shopping, dining, lodging and services. Our medical facilities, schools and economic vitality make this a wonderful place to live.

The Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce is a wealth of information. We have visitor information, business resources and community information to help you as you live, work and play in the area. Stop into our office, call or visit our website for more information.

communities county wide

AUDUBON The city of Audubon is located on Highway 10 approximately 40 miles east of Fargo, ND, and 210 miles northwest of Minneapolis, MN. Situated in the southwest corner of Becker County, it developed as a result of the 1871 expansion of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Audubon was established as a community in 1873; it was settled mainly by farmers of Scandinavian descent.

The town was named after the great American naturalist and artist, James A. Audubon. During an early tour of the “Audubon’’ branch of the NP line, a passenger, Audubon’s niece, commented on the beauty of the lily-covered prairie and asked that if a railroad station were ever built there, that it be named after her uncle. While searching for a township name, the Audubon name suggestion seemed to stick, and on Jan. 2, 1881, it became the official town name.

Today, Audubon is home to Team Industries and other industries, as well as the Audubon convenience store (Orton’s), Aurochs Veterinary Service, DreamMakers Bath & Kitchen and Country Wood Products. Audubon also maintains a post office, a co-op elevator, a municipal liquor store, a bank (State Bank & Trust of Audubon), a meat market (Audubon Meat Inc.), and the Zephyr Supper Club.

CALLAWAY Callaway is located about 12 miles north of Detroit Lakes on Highway 59, approximately 45 air miles east of Fargo. It’s situated in Becker’s northwest corner, along the Soo Line Railroad’s “Glenwood route’’ — a section of track between Winnipeg and Minneapolis. The small farming communities of Richwood and Westbury lie within a 5 mile radius of Callaway.

As the Soo Line pushed northward in 1903, the Callaway community developed. Callaway’s rich farmland attracted many early Scandinavian settlers who were interested in farming its fertile tracts of land.

Today, agriculture remains Callaway’s main economic resource.

Besides its own community center, Callaway is also home to Beautiful Savior Lutheran and Assumption Catholic churches, a volunteer fire department, Lions Club, Community Council, post office, municipal liquor store, Native Harvest, Noah’s Insurance and On the Go Convenience Store, Tungesbick Service Station.

DETROIT LAKES Detroit Lakes was originally home of the Sioux, until the

Chippewa pushed them westward.

During the mid 1800s, Detroit Lakes was a favorite resting place for travelers of the Red River Oxcart Trail, a 400 mile path from Winnipeg to St. Paul. For many years, the resting place was called “Ga-ia-wa-wangag’’ : a Chippewa name meaning, “Lake in which there is a crossing in a sandy place.’’

Settlers, having trouble pronouncing that name, preferred a traveling French priest’s description of the sandy place; he called it “Detroit,’’ using the French word for sand bar. The name stuck. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, Detroit Lakes had an estimated population of 8,569 residents.

Today, Detroit Lakes is an important agricultural area; it is also the center of a thriving “412 Lakes’’ tourism district. Besides providing a strong educational system for its residents, Detroit Lakes is home to many different churches, industrial parks and a variety of retail businesses.

Detroit Lakes service organizations include: American Legion, Eagles, Jaycees, Kiwanis, Lions, Masons, Optimist Club, Rotary, VFW and Auxiliary, and Women of Today.

FRAZEE The city of Frazee is located at the junction of Highway 10 and Minnesota State Highway 87, approximately in the center of Becker County’s southernmost border; it is approximately 10 miles southeast of Detroit Lakes; 55 miles east of Fargo, and 195 miles northwest of Minneapolis.

Frazee was settled in 1868, earning it the distinction of being the first area settled in Becker County. When the Hobart Depot and Weymouth Hotel moved to Frazee in 1874, the city of Frazee developed quickly. (It was said the food at the Weymouth was so good, that the NP Line scheduled regular stops to partake in its culinary delights.)

The combination of the depot, a lucrative flour mill, and a booming logging industry, Frazee was Becker County’s largest city until the log-

ging “boom’’ fizzled out at the turn of the century. At its peak, however, Frazee’s population climbed a little over 2000 in the late 1880s.

Today, Frazee is home to many businesses. Daggett Trucking, the Frazee Municipal Liquor Store, Ketter’s Meat Market, and O.K. Lumber are just a few examples of Frazee’s thriving business district.

The city is home to a Lake Agassiz Regional Library LINK site, and its official website is www.frazeecity. com.

LAKE PARK The city of Lake Park is located on Highway 10 approximately 35 miles east of Fargo and 215 miles northwest of Minneapolis. With gentle rolling hills and an elevation of 1270 ft., Lake Park is a fertile farm area producing grain, potatoes, and livestock.

Lake Park was named for a beautiful lake which used to be located on the original townsite. In the early 1870s, this lake was drained, however, to allow for the building of the NP Railroad. Although the lake was lost forever, the railroad stimulated Lake Park’s growth as settlers took advantage of its easy transportation to the region.

Today, Lake Park is home to many area businesses. Besides a health clinic, community cooperative, drug store, hair salons, gro-

cery store, laundromat, municipal liquor store, bank, city center, and public pool, the Lake Park community includes a variety of churches, including St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Lake Park Lutheran Church, the Gloria Dei Lutheran Parish and Eskjo Lutheran Church. The community also boasts three gas stations and a Lake Agassiz Regional Library LINK site.

OGEMA Ogema is located on Becker County’s northern most boundary on Minnesota Highway 59. It’s approximately 21 miles due north of Detroit Lakes. Ogema was founded in 1906, nearly 40 years after the establishment of the surrounding White Earth Reservation; its name, however, means “Chief’’ in the Chippewa language. The town developed as the result of the Soo Line’s northward expansion.

Today, Ogema is home to a municipal liquor store, a community hall, a bank, beauty salon and M & W Foods. The community also has a post office, elementary school (WaubunOgema-White Earth), and Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. The White Earth Initiative office building is a recent addition.

Service organizations include: Northern Lights 4-H Club, a volunteer fire department (Carsonville Volunteer

Fire and Rescue Department), and the Helping Hand Club — a local organization devoted to helping the area’s poor and needy. Established in 1944, the organization is still going strong, “Doing unto others, as we would have others do unto us.’’

TWO INLETS Two Inlets is located on Becker County’s eastern border. Nestled quietly in Becker’s forest district, it is approximately 10 miles north of Osage and 12 miles northeast of Ponsford on County Road 44.

The Two Inlets area was once a center of the thriving 1880s logging boom. Today, Two Inlets maintains a resort, sawmill, country store, Catholic church and town hall.

WHITE EARTH The community of White Earth is located within the White Earth Indian Reservation. It is located approximately 22 miles north of Detroit Lakes at the intersection of County Road 23 and Minnesota Hwy. 224. The village of White Earth is governed by a community council. The council members are elected for two year

terms and help facilitate community projects through fund raising efforts. White Earth village also maintains its own post office and ambulance service.

WOLF LAKE Wolf Lake is located about three miles north of State Highway 87, in the corner of the Smoky Hills State Forest. Detroit Lakes is 32 miles due west of the village which was settled mainly as a logging camp site. After the great forests of Minnesota had been exploited by big lumbering companies, Wolf Lake turned to farming. Today, Wolf Lake maintains many organizations including: VFW, VFW Auxiliary, Lions Club, and Baseball Club as well as snowmobile, shooting and sportsmen’s clubs.

OUTLYING COMMUNITIES

HITTERDAL, located in Clay County, was incorporated as a village on April 1, 1918, and separated from the townships on May 3, 1919. It is named for a valley and lake in southern Norway. Among the first settlers were several people named Hitterdal. The town was named for Bendt O. Hitterdal, the original town proprietor. The post office began in 1887; M. J. Solum built a hardware and implement store on the first lot after the townsite was platted in 1896.

ULEN, also located in Clay County, was named in honor of Ole Ulen, its first settler. The city of Ulen was established on

part of his homestead and was incorporated as a village on Nov. 12, 1896. The post office was established in 1884.

WAUBUN, a city in Mahnomen County, has an Ojibwe name, meaning “the east,” “the morning,” and “the twilight of dawn.” It is spelled waban in Baraga’s Dictionary, and wabun by Longfellow in The Song of Hiawatha, with definition as the east wind. The city was incorporated as a village on Dec. 18, 1907. When the Soo Line built through the county in 1903-4, the general manager, Pennington, and his chief engineer, Thomas Green, named the stations as they moved the line north; all towns on the reservation had to have Indian names.

this community was established in 1905 as Bement, changing to Waubun in 1906.

PERHAM, located in Otter Tail County, is named after Josiah Perham, the first President of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The railroad arrived in Otter Tail County in 1871. A mercantile store was erected on the north side of the tracks the next year and Perham has been prospering ever since.

Perham currently boasts of a stateof-the-art community fitness and recreation center; a 27-hole, championship golf course. It is also the center for surrounding agriculture and tourism.

VERGAS, located in Otter Tail County, is known as the “Home

of the Loon,” the Minnesota State Bird. There is a giant 20 foot replica of the State Bird erected on the shore of Long Lake, in the center of City Park, which is also home to a public beach and picnic area. There are 25 lakes within a five-mile radius of Vergas. The community’s present name comes from one of four in the “V” series used to designate Soo Line sleeping cars that traveled between Minneapolis and Winnipeg. The post office began as Candor in 1904, the railroad station was Vergas, and the townsite was Altona, all names changing to Vergas in 1903. The community has a well-known bar and grill, a café, grocery store and a supper club just outside of town.

North Country Scenic Trail: Enjoying nature’s beauty up close

Answer: Tall pines and beautiful, undeveloped lakes. A great diversity of habitats - ranging from old-growth pines and majestic hardwood forests to grasslands and farm edges. Historic logging and cultural sites.

Abundant wildlife.

Question: What can you see while walking, XC skiing, or snowshoeing along the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT) in Becker County? Yes, it’s true. These are all things that you will find in abundance on our local segment of the nation’s longest hik-

ing trail.

The North Country Trail is a 4,600 mile hiking trail extending from upstate New York to west central North Dakota. While administered by the National Park Service, it is built and maintained by volunteers associated with the North Country Trail Association (NCTA).

The Laurentian Lakes Chapter is responsible for the NCT within Becker County and currently has an active volunteer base that builds, maintains, and promotes the trail.

Veterans Memorial Park dedicated on Veterans Day 2011

On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2011, government officials shared the stage with Becker County veterans’ organizations for the official dedication of the new Veterans Memorial Park, located at the corner of Washington Avenue and U.S. Highway 10 in down-town Detroit Lakes.

The focal point of the park is the Becker County Veterans Memorial, an 11x12-foot granite monument that was constructed by Detroit Lakes’ own Ness Gran-ite Works.

The monument is fronted by five flagpoles, which on special occasions will fly flags representing each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces as well as the American flag.

Also included in the new park will be four previously constructed memorials that used to stand in the old county veterans park next to the county courthouse (the park was

dismantled to make way for a court-house expansion three years ago). Those monuments include a memorial to fallen Becker County war veterans; a firemen’s memorial; a Sept.

11, 2001 memorial; and a flag dedication stone.

Though not yet fully completed, the 0.8-acre park will eventually include a tree-lined sidewalk lined with engraved granite pavers and benches, many honoring area veterans.

Try our signature items Big Mac Maybe it's the double layer of sear-sizzled 100% pure beef mingled with the sauce and melty cheese, the snap of the onion and the tart crunch of pickle. Or maybe it's just that it's tall. Either way, you so want one.

Quarter Pounder with Cheese It's 100% pure beefy cheesiness. It tastes great, and it knows it.

Two slices of melting cheese, a quarter pound of 100% pure beef and a toasted sesame seed bun. Really, what's not to love?

Sausage McMuffin with Egg Make morning sizzle with a freshly toasted English muffin, savory sausage hot off the griddle, a slice of melty American cheese and a freshly cracked Grade A egg*.

Sausage Burrito Spice up your morning with peppers, onions, fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage and melty cheese all wrapped in a soft tortilla.
