Rollins is a place name that appears on most maps of Minnesota near the community of Brimson. At one time, Rollins was a whistle stop for a railway serving the area. However, the ground truth seems that Rollins does not exist, for the station has been gone for a number of years.

There remains one store at the intersection of County Highway 44 and Two Harbors–Brimson Road (Wales Road).
