This is my challenge to you. We all know our community is a bedroom community but, many of us get in our cars drive into the “city” and go to our jobs, get back in our cars, drive back to our homes, make some dinner, watch TV and then go to bed…. etc. etc. etc.  

My challenge for you is to join the community in your special way with this Website. You might not work in town, but remember your children are here and you live here. We all still need the benefit of a strong working, active, and FUN place to live. 

Tell about yourself, give ideas on what you want to read about or what you would like to see happening in town.  Tell us about the great restaurant you went to.  How about the excitement you felt at the football game last week? Is there a upcoming craft sale, play or community event that you would like your neighbors to come to?

Area History
The story of the geographical area that the municipal government of North Branch, Minnesota has encompassed since its incorporation as a township in 1861 has come full circle. In 1881 the citizens of the township continued under one municipal government when North Branch incorporated as a township-size village (36 square miles).

In 1901, however, the jurisdiction divided. A one-square mile area of the township detached from the original village and reincorporated itself as the village of North Branch. The village of North Branch was more urbanized and was centrally located within the original 35 square mile rural area that reverted its status back to township and named itself Branch.   

In 1961 Branch became a village, still surrounding the village of North Branch. When both communities grew rapidly after the completion of 1-35 in 1969, North Branch continued to be the more densely populated urban area of the community while Branch became
