How Windemere Township Began
Windemere Township organized itself when the local lumber industry took off during the late 19th century. They named it after a long, narrow lake in England. The new township soon built a school and a town hall. Then, in 1918, the infamous Moose Lake fire destroyed the timber industry. Dairy farms helped sustain the economic base for decades before industrial farming took over their markets.
Windemere Township eventually returned to the quieter days sought by residents and vacationers who seek the serenity of waterfront homes and rural areas in eastern Minnesota. Today the folks in Windermere Township will tell you, this is a wonderful place to call home.
