History

In 1905 the town site of Strome was developed, and it became a very successful farming community. In the fall of 1905 Max Knoll opened the first post office, under the name of Knollton and set up the first general store. The name of the post office was changed to Strome on July 1, 1906. A Hotel, Hardwear Store, and a Church followed. Strome became an incorporated Village on February 3, 1910. [ [http://www.villageofstrome.com/about_us Strome's History] ]
