History:

DANUBE is a city in sections 5 and 6 of Troy Township, founded in 1899. This name, received from the large river in Europe, is borne also by a township and village in New York. The city was called Miles when it was incorporated on November 5, 1902, and was changed to Danube in 1903 and separated from the township on April 19, 1917. The city developed as a local trade center for farmers with the arrival of the Hastings and Dakota Railway; the post office began in 1898 as Miles, changing to Danube in 1903.
