History

Baker, a railway village was named for Lester H. Baker, [5] a farmer who moved on to the state of Washington. The village was first settled in 1879, and the Great Northern Railway came in 1880. The first building was built in 1883 by John Erikson to store grain. The railroad in 1903 requested that the post office name be changed from Navan to Baker, to honor Lester Baker.
