A post office called Odanah has been in operation since 1855. The name is from an Ojibwe language word, now spelled oodena, meaning "village." A 1960 flood led to the establishment of the Bad River Housing Authority, which relocated thousands of Odanah residents to higher ground a few miles down the road, away from the flood plain.
