History

The village of Blackduck was organized in October 1900, and the town was incorporated in December 21, 1900. The first settlers of this community came from Crookston, Minnesota. The town was founded because of the great logging potential of the area. The Continental Divide is located near the area, and provided good drainage which resulted in good logging because the land was not wet. The community was named for Blackduck Lake.
