[edit] History
The site of Paynesville was put first officially on the map in 1857 with the founding of a Post Office, postmastered by Edwin E. Payne, who served only for a few months. 30 years later, as the Soo Line Railroad arrived in the area, a second Post Office was founded right near the tracks, and a second separate village developed her, called New Paynesville. These were separate villages. The original Paynesville and New Paynesville merged into "Paynesville" in January 1905.
