Goodhue County, Minnesota, Past and Present, published 1893 names this settlement in its chapter on Wanamingo Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

A few American families came to this town in 1855, and made claims in the southern portion, on the Zumbro river. One of these settlers, Mr. James Brown, platted and laid into lots, forty acres of land, for village purposes, and called the place Wanamiiigo, the name of a heroine in a novel. The first store was built in this village by J. T. AVright. There are now several stores, one hotel, two blacksmith shops, a public school house, a fine church edifice, and a number of neat private dwellings. The American settlers have nearly all sold out and gone, and the village is occupied by the Norwegians and their descendants. There is another village in the northeast corner of the tovv^uship, called Hader, where there is a hotel, a public school house, several stores and shops.
