Winnipeg Junction is a ghost town in section 22 of Highland Grove Township in Clay County, Minnesota.
History
Winnipeg Junction was established in 1885 with the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The town developed rapidly and within twenty years had a church, three stores, three saloons, two restaurants, two hotels, a bakery, a grain elevator, a school, three livery stables, and a post office which operated from 1887 until 1910.

Little trace of the town remains today.]Notes
