Philbrook, Minnesota

Philbrook, Minnesota

Philbrook is a ghost town in Villard and Fawn Lake townships in Todd County, Minnesota, United States.

History

The village of Philbrook began as Riverside in 1859, and the post office was established in 1889, but because the name Riverside was already in use by another post office, the name was changed to Philbrook in 1890. The post office was changed to a rural branch in 1956 and discontinued in 1964. Philbrook had a station of the Northern Pacific Railroad in section 33, Villard Township. cite book| last =Upham| first =Warren| authorlink =Warren Upham| title =Minnesota Place Names, A Geographical Encyclopedia, 3rd Edition| publisher =Minnesota Historical Society| date =2001| location =Saint Paul, Minnesota| pages =pp. 592| isbn =0-87351-396-7]
