Orfordville Bridge

On April 7, 1900, O.A. Peterson, G. Clemetson, T.O. Brown, T.E. Tollefsrud, and K.B. Thoen requested that the territory known as Orfordville be incorporated as a village. The Petitioners requested that the judge of the circuit court allow 645.92 acres to be included in the proposed village. On June 29, 1900, 95 residents of the proposed territory cast their vote. The request to incorporate was supported by 65 votes, and opposed by 30 votes. The territory known as Orfordville then became known as the Village of Orfordville, and was no longer a part of Spring Valley Township. The village of Orfordville was allowed to keep a stone crusher, two scrapers, and a new plow.
