Dedication
The Menahga Welcoming Committee dedicates the 4th edition of the Menahga Business Directory to the Menahga Fire Department and the Menahga First Responders. Both organizations served during the 2013 Green Valley Fire, which started in Becker County and crossed three miles north of Menahga through Hubbard County and into Wadena County. Covering 8 miles, an estimated 7,100 acres were touched by the fire. Many houses and other structures were burned. Amazingly, no lives were lost. 35 law enforcement agencies, 53 fire departments, and numerous organizations and community members assisted in fire fighting, directing traffic, and helping in whatever ways they could. We thank you for your service!
Fire Department pictured from left to right - Back: Eli Jettmann, Dave Kicker, Quade Mayer, Luke Manderschied, Jason Horton, Josh Phillips, TJ Becker, Jim Day. Front: Josh Whiryer, Austin Pulju. Not pictured: Randy Berttunen, Terry Berttunen, Chad Blair, Mitch Byman, Aaron Hillukka, Troy Mayer, Scott Nelson, Marty Penner, Alden Yliniemi, Nick Ylitalo, Travis Hunter, Justin Day. The Menahga Fire Department has been serving the Menahga area since the 1890s - over 120 years!

WEbsite design
When you consult with AH Grafix on a logo design, you get more than a new image. You get a look at your current business from a fresh perspective.
→ You want an image that reflects your business. Maybe it’s been a while (or quite a while) since your logo was created. Perhaps the business has changed hands. Maybe your uncle or second cousin or the daughter of a friend “did something up” on their computer.
It’s time! You need a new logo that gets you the clients you want!

Welcome to Menahga
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY OF MENAHGA The name “Menahga” was derived from the Indian word for blueberry. The wild fruit grew in abundance throughout the area and Native Americans and pioneers alike used to sell and trade blueberries through local merchants in the early days of the town. The area of Menahga was settled by immigrants of Scandinavian and European descent, as land was cleared by loggers. Menahga is part of the Louisiana Purchase bought in 1803 from Napoleon. In 1849, Minnesota was organized as a territory and

became a state in 1858. Very little is recorded of this area from the early 1800’s, but it is known that the Sioux and Ojibway (Chippewa) Indian tribes used it for hunting grounds. These tribes were semi-nomadic and followed the seasonal development of food sources. They traveled from sugar camps to fishing, to garden villages, and to hunting. Their diet consisted mainly of meat derived from whitetailed deer and fish. Wild rice was harvested from the marshy shores of area lakes and the abundance of blueberries in those early days became their main fruit item. The Homestead Act of 1862 brought many people to the Menahga area, via railroad and the Crow Wing River. Menahga’s town site was established in 1891 by E. Jones and that same year along came the railroad. In the spring of 1892, a Petition of Incorporation was begun. Most of the settlers from 1875-1880 were of “Yankee” heritage, that is, born and raised in America. Immigrants began to arrive in Blueberry Township in 1880-1890. By 1895, Menahga boasted a population of 288 and of its 144 adults, all but four were born in Finland. According to recorded information, the first Finnish settler to arrive in the area was Jacob Lalli.
In those early days, Menahga was covered by a thick growth of virgin white and red pine trees, thus the name, “Gateway to the Pines.” Even before the immigrants arrived, the logging industry had changed the face of the land. Huge logs were floated to the sawmills via the Crow Wing River and its tributaries which provided hundreds of miles of waterways to that industry. The 1895 census indicated not only logging as the job market for the area, but included cattle and grain buyers, merchants, hotel keepers, mill hands, blacksmiths, skilled artisans, laborers and those who set up their own trade, all a part of this hustling, busy town. Interestingly, 90% of Blueberry Township settlers listed their occupation as farming.

Welcome to Menahga
ST. URHO MONUMENT The legend of St. Urho says he chased the grasshoppers out of ancient Finland, thus saving the grape crop and the jobs of Finnish vineyard workers. He did this by uttering the phrase: “Heinasirkka, heinasirkka, mene taalta hiiteen.” His feast is celebrated by the American Finlanders by wearing the colors Royal Purple and Nile Green on the day BEFORE St. Patrick’s Day. St. Urho is nearly always represented with grapes and grasshoppers.
