History:  

CALLAWAY Township, organized March 30, 1906, is named for William R. Callaway of Minneapolis, general passenger agent of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad (hereafter cited as Soo Line), which had previously established a station and village of this name in section 32. The village, formerly known as Baxter, was incorporated on April 30, 1907, and separated from the township on March 19, 1912; its post office began in 1904. The early settlement had a feed mill, several hotels, and grain elevators; its main exports were grain, livestock, hay, and potatoes.

Since 2008, Niijii Radio KKWE 89.9FM, has been broadcasting independent media to our community, growing in capacity and strength each year. We are one of four native Anishinaabe community radio stations in our region, but we are unique in that we are the only one independent of tribal government and control. This was a conscious choice, so that the people in the Anishinaabe community understand that we are truly independent, and therefore also able to highlight tribal concerns and issues on our reservation.
