Crookston was first settled in 1872; organized in 1876; and incorporated in 1879. By 1880; the enterprising young town known as the �Queen City of the Northwest� had 1;500 inhabitants. Its location on the Red Lake River and in the fertile Red River Valley secured its tenure as the Polk County seat. Crookston first served the northwest as a trading center; then as a grain shipping point; a lumbering center with large sawmills; a brewery and liquor distribution base; and a railroad hub with terminal facilities; a roundhouse; and office headquarters. It was also a banking center of the prospering northwest. By 1915; Crookston�s population of over 8;000 people made it the 14th-most-populated city in Minnesota.
