History:

STORDEN Township, organized March 30, 1875, was known as Westbrook Township until 1872, and then named Town of Norsk for its many Norwegian pioneers but later was renamed in honor of its first settler, Nels Storden, an immigrant from Norway; the name was proposed by John Fitcha. The city of Storden, sections 29 and 30, was platted July 8, 1903, and was incorporated as a village on June 7, 1921. The post office was begun in 1875 with Ole Christopherson, postmaster, on his farm. The post office moved in 1903 to Copenhagen, located one mile north and west of Storden; eventually Copenhagen was absorbed into Storden; it had a station of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad.
