[2] Org is located approximately four miles southwest of Worthington on Minnesota State Highway 60 and U.S. Route 59.

Main highways include: Org was originally called Islen, after Adrian C. Iselin, one of the directors of the St. Paul and Sioux City Railroad Company.

Steam locomotives consumed enormous quantities of water, and water-stops were established every 8 to 12 miles along any rail route.

[3] The town was platted in 1899, and a railroad station was built on the Chicago & Northwestern Railway's main St Paul to Sioux City line.

Theodore Roosevelt traveled through Org when he was running for president in 1912 as the Bull Moose Party candidate.

Wilson's train merely slowed enough to switch from the main Chicago & Northwestern track to the Sioux Falls spur line.

Org is in Bigelow Township and is represented by Nobles County Commissioner Matt Widboom.
