The chapter on Revere City in The History of Redwood County, Minnesota, published 1916 names Revere. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
Revere was platted in 1886 and incorporated in 1899-1900. The village had its start when the railroad put into use two box cars, one as a station and the other as a freight house. About 1899 Bingham Brothers built a flat house for the storing of grain. Norman T. Nelson started buying grain. Later Hans Nelson was the buyer. D. S. Cantine started dealing in live stock. The first store was that of Louis J. Rongstad & Co. In this store was the postoffice, with Mr. Rongstad as postmaster. Mr. Rongstad 's partner was A. 0. Anderson, who seems to have been the financial backer.
