History:  

HALSTAD Township, organized in 1879, and its city in sections 19 and 30, were named for Ole Halstad, a pioneer farmer, who came from Norway. During many years he was the postmaster of Marsh River post office in this township, now discontinued. The city was platted in 1883 and incorporated as a village on February 13, 1893; a post office was established in 1884, with Erik K. Brandt, postmaster, and it had a station of the Great Northern Railway.
