Radium is an unincorporated community in section 19 of Comstock Township, Marshall County, Minnesota, United States. [2] [1] It was built alongside the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad (Soo Line Railroad) branch line built in 1905 from Thief River Falls, Minnesota, to Kenmare, North Dakota. (This line still operates under the aegis of the Northern Plains Railroad.) The place was named for the element radium. [3] Radium had its own post office from 1905 to 1984. [4] Since 1984, Radium has been served by the post office in Warren.
