Glen Flora

History

The Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad, heading from Ladysmith toward Sault St. Marie, built through the wilderness that would become eastern Rusk County in 1884. Their early steam engines needed frequent stops along the line, so they created Glen Flora station about midway between Deertail (Tony) and Ingram. In 1891 an album of the Chippewa Valley described the new hamlet like this: Glen Flora is a lumber settlements, with about thirty residents, on the [Soo Line], and on Duncan creek. It has been surveyed and platted, and has a post-office, and a steam saw, planing and shingle-mill, belonging to the Glen Flora Manufacturing company, which is operated by them.
