From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

SHAFER Township is noticed as follows by Folsom: "A Swedish colony settled here in 1853. . . . The town organized first as Taylor's Falls, but the name was changed to Shafer in 1873. . . . A railroad station . . . bears the name of Shafer, derived, together with the name of the township, from Jacob Shafer, who, as early as 1847, cut hay in sections 4 and 5. He seems to have been in no sense worthy of the honor conferred upon him, as he was but a transient inhabitant and disappeared in 1849. No one knows of his subsequent career. The honor ought to have been given to some of the hardy Swedes, who were the first real pioneers, and the first to make substantial improvements." The city of Shafer in section 32 was settled in 1881, and a post office was established the same year; incorporated as a village on March 14, 1922.
