[edit] Blackduck History
The town of Blackduck was established in December 1900. The first settlers of this community came from Crookston, MN. The town was founded because of the great logging potential of the area. Near where the town is settled is the Continental Divide which provided good drainage resulting in good logging because the land wasn't wet.
About 8 miles outside of Blackduck is Camp Rabideau. Roosevelt opened 2,650 camps for the New Deal Program and this is one of them. The camp is a National Historic Landmark. It is very well preserved. The camp was opened to give jobs to young men between the ages of 17 and 21 in hopes of helping the country get out of the depression.
