History

Finlayson Township, organized October 22, 1895, and the city in Finlayson and Pine Lake Townships were named in honor of David Finlayson, the former proprietor of a sawmill in this village. The city was incorporated as a village on August 24, 1905; it had a station of the Northern Pacific Railroad, a sawmill, a pickle factory, and two potato warehouses among its early businesses. The post office was established in 1887.

The fashion brand Askov Finlayson was named after this city and neighboring Askov, Minnesota, which share a freeway exit on I-35.

The Northern Pacific station still stands and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
