2,075 words on this townshipGoodhue 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.

| July 2015 | Thunderstorm Wind | Hader | $500,000 | A storm survey indicated a significant downburst caused damage west of Goodhue. Severe downburst winds initially caused damage to a barn and outbuildings at a farm about 9 miles west of Goodhue. Farther east, about 7.5 miles west of Goodhue, there were numerous trees blown down, an empty grain bin was destroyed, tin was blown off some outbuildings, doors were blown off a machine shed, and some corn was destroyed. These were the two hardest hit locations. Between the two locations, there were just a few trees or large branches taken down. Both locations exhibited divergent damage patterns indicative of a downburst. Based on the survey damage, the highest winds were around 80 to 85 mph. |
