This is a park and grab kind of. Take the time a think on this one. Bring something to write with.
Town of Skagen was organized in the early 1890s (1899) and was given its name after a memberon the county board of Roseau County. Town of Skagen had an attractive layout with all its green meadows of poplar, oak, and evergreen trees. The land sloping to the northwest, was a sign of sufficient drainage. About this time, all government land was open for new settlers according to Homestead Law. Any person eligible was entitled to 160 acres of land to provide themselves with a home of their own. As soon as this news got known, people flocked from North Dakota and Red River Valley mostly. All were anxious to pick their claim and file to get the first paper (preliminary title). In the spring of 1894 all the land was filed upon. With some money, friendly cooperation, and exchanging work when necessary, all had neat and well kept homes at the end of the summer. In a considerable short time, there were horses, oxen, cattle, and necessary machinery. Land had been turned into farms and were producing various small grains.
