History

Harlow was established in 1912 along the Soo Line Railroad. The post office was established in 1914 and was later assigned the zipcode 58340. [3] The post office closed in 1984. [3] The town's population was estimated as high as 100 during its development, but it never incorporated as a city. [4] Alternative suggestions for the origin of the town's name are either after an official with the railroad or after the Harlow Old Fort House in Plymouth, Massachusetts. [4]

The original homesteader was Louis Larsen Ulvestead in 1896. [4] Local resident Ole Ronning (1905-2005), lived on the homestead until moving to Devils Lake in 2000. [4] [5] Ole and his wife, Alma, were known for publishing a comprehensive history of Harlow and the surrounding township in the 1960s. [5]
