HISTORY

The first European visitors to the area were French traders who bought furs from the resident Ojibwa Indians in the 17th century. Swedish immigrants arrived in the 1850s to buy farm land along the St. Croix River and beside the lakes of Amador Township.
Almelund was founded in 1887 by John Almquist. The first building was a Lutheran Church. Almquist built a general store and ran it for thirty years until it burned down in 1911. A school was built in 1910. The two-room brick building now houses the Amador Heritage Center.
Still in a prominent place at the center of town is Immanuel Lutheran Church. Originally known as the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Emmanuel Church, the current building was built in 1926.
