The settlement of Jenkins began when a supply depot was built on
land, which had been granted by the government on August 21, 1883 to
Mrs. Isabella Jenkins and husband. Teams and wagons would haul supplies
into Jenkins from Brainerd and then "tote" loads would take these
supplies to logging camps.
The first railroad line came into
Jenkins in 1895. the railroad was used for hauling logs on freight
trains. Passenger trains were also frequent, two daily and two nightly,
carrying passengers, baggage and mail. With the arrival of automobile
and bus service for transportation, the passenger trains were
discontinued in 1963. Freight trains continued on the line into the
1980s. Currently the former railroad line is used as a multi-purpose
recreational trail, the Paul Bunyan Trail.
The first term of
school was held in 1904, the same year Jenkins was incorporated. School
was held in a small building until 1920 when a two-story brick building
was
built in the west end of town. The school was closed down in
1964 when the Jenkins school district consolidated with Pequot Lakes.
Early Sunday School classes were held in the Town Hall, which was at
the time the second story of the Saloon. Later classes were held in the
school building. In 1908 the first church was built in town. It was
originally named "Evangelical" but was later changed to "Union". This
church was served by ministers of many religious denominations.
Throughout the history of Jenkins all types of businesses have located
to the City, some stayed and some did not. Some types of businesses that
were in Jenkins at one time include hotels, restaurants, grocery stores,
boat works, auto repair shop, blacksmith, barber shop, antique shops,
