Home to Gagen Land & Cedar Company around 1900, the primary industries of Piehl were farming and lumber. White cedar posts and poles, piling, railroad ties and pulp wood were produced. The owner of Gagen Land & Cedar Company was Fred Piehl ["Piehl Death Is Community Loss": "The New North.", page 1. Volume 57 Number 11. 2/23/1939] . March 25, 1908, the town of Piehl was created to consist of Township 37 north of Range 11 east, detached from the towns of Three Lakes and Monico. The picture shows a sample of the lumberjacks that worked for the Gagen Land & Cedar Company.
