Foxholm
This was a Soo Line Rail Road
station built in 1886 in NW1/4 Section 2-156-85, Foxholm Township, between
Burlington and Donnybrook. The post office was established May 7, 1894
with Jens Glein Post Master. Peter Fugelso, later Post master at Minot,
owned the town site, which was named by railroad officials for Foxholm,
England. The elevation is 1657, the Zip Code is 58738, and a population of
about 200 was maintained for many years, although there has been a sharp
decline since 1960. On April 21, 1967 the post office became a rural
branch of Burlington. |
