History of the City of Hamburg
Shortly after the signing and finalization of the Indian treaties of Mendota and Traverse des Sioux in 1852 , the government opened the land for settlement .
A large number of German immigrants moved into the area of the Hamburg community . However , the city was non-existent , until 1881 , when the Minneapolis and St . Louis Railway was built , designating a “ stopping place ” at the site .
J . D . Roeders , original owner of the townsite , soon started platting the town , naming the streets after his daughters – Sophia , Maria , Henrietta , and Louisa – and these names are still used , as well as many of the first buildings in the city .
In 1897 , the city was incorporated when the required population of 150 was attained . However , the first official council meetings did not take place until 1900 .
Early businesses in the city were general stores , a blacksmith shop , hardware store , and , of course , the local “ refreshment parlor .”
The railroad furnished many more businesses to spring up ; a sawmill , harness shop , draying , and even a hotel .
Hamburg is located in a rich agricultural area , often referred to as “ The Golden Buckle of the Dairy Belt .”
