History:
OSTRANDER, a city in Bloomfield, platted in 1890, was named
for William and Charles Ostrander,
who gave to the railway company parts of the village site. William
Ostrander was born in the state of New York in 1819 and came to
Minnesota in 1857, settling here as a farmer. The post office moved
there from Hurdal in 1891. The city was incorporated as a village in
1918. It had a station of the Chicago Great Western Railroad and was the
site of a low-grade iron mining operation during World War II and
several years following. Courtesy Minnesota
