History:  

HERMAN, a city in Logan Township, sections 13 and 24, platted in September 1875, was incorporated February 17, 1881, and again on March 1, 1887, and would doubtless have been chosen as the county seat if its location were near the center of the county. The post office began in 1872 in Norwegian immigrant Sven S. Frogner's general store; the village had a station of the Great Northern Railway. In 1914 it was selected by the State Municipality League on account of its civic merit as the "model town" of Minnesota. Its name was given by the railway officials in honor of Herman Trott, land agent of the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad company. He was born in Hanover, Germany, February 25, 1830, and died in St. Paul, December 29, 1903. He came to this state in 1856 and settled in St. Paul two years later; removed to the state of Washington in 1890 but returned to reside in St. Paul after 1899.
