GARY, a city in sections 16 and 21 of Strand Township, founded in 1883, received this name in compliment to Garrett L.

The village was incorporated on February 21, 1901; a number of businesses, including a creamery, developed in 1886 with the Northern Pacific Railroad's coming; the post office was established in 1887.
