 In the late 1920s and into the 1930s several farm families came directly from Denmark.A high school was formed in 1929 (one of the first rural high schools) and in 1933 a girls’ dormitory was built to house young ladies attending high school in Dickson.The active church community and educational components such as the Luther League, skating rink, Boy Scouts, choir and the Fish and Game Association made the Dickson area attractive to further settlement.
