Muskoda, Minnesota

Muskoda is a ghost town in section 7 of Hawley Township in Clay County, Minnesota, United States.

[1] Muskoda received its name from the Ojibwa word Mashkode, which according to Baraga means "a meadow or tract of grassland, a large prairie.

"[2] The townsite was originally on a line of the Northern Pacific Railroad until that railroad moved its line to a more gradual grade in 1909, leaving Muskoda about one half mile off the new line.

The town had a post office from 1873 until 1930,[3] and also at one time had a general store, a grain elevator, and a potato warehouse.
