History

In the early 20th century, because residents in the area were getting sick from drinking ditch water, three small communities (Austin, Cory, and Eckert) agreed to consolidate in order to be able to raise enough money to build a water pipeline. Thus Orchard City was incorporated in 1912, but even to this day it’s more common for people to refer to one of the three specific communities within the boundaries of Orchard City. The community was named for an orchard near the original town site.
