History:  

HOFFMAN, a railway village in Land Township, platted in April 1887, incorporated June 23, 1891, was named in honor of Robert C. Hoffman of Minneapolis, who during many years was chief engineer of the Soo Line. The village was developed on land purchased by the Minneapolis and Pacific Railroad in 1886 from Andres Lindberg; it had a hotel, several stores, and a grain elevator; its post office began in 1883 as Wanberg, located near Wilson Lake on postmaster Anton Studling (Studien)'s farm; it transferred to the Louis Peterson farm in 1884 and to the village in 1887.
