History

Fisher is one of the oldest settlements in Polk County. It was originally named “Shirt-Tail Bend” because a shirt had once been tied to a stick to warn steamboats of a bend in the river. It was renamed ‘Fisher’s Landing’, and later shortened to Fisher. These names were adopted in honor of William H. Fisher, who was born in Hunterdon county, N. J., December 24, 1844; engaged in railroad business after 1864; settled in St. Paul in 1873, as attorney for the receiver of the St. Paul and Pacific railroad, and as its assistant manager and superintendent ; later was president and manager of the St. Paul and Duluth railroad company, 1883-99; was vice president and general manager of the Duluth and Winnipeg railroad company, 1888-93.
