History

A post office called Gonvick has been in operation since 1900. The city was named for Martin O. Gonvick, a pioneer settler and native of Norway.

The children in this area attend Clearbrook-Gonvick School, which is located in Clearbrook, which is approximately a five–minute commute away. The city of Gonvick had a school, which is now converted into a space for the Clearwater Life Center. It now includes a buy and sell, a florist, and numerous classes for varied activities. The Clearbrook Hornets and the Gonvick Bulldogs combined schools in 1992 as the Clearbrook-Gonvick Bears. They each kept their separate schools, with combined sports until 2004, when the new school was finally built to accommodate all the children.

Perhaps Gonvick’s most famous native is Ed Widseth, an All-American tackle for the University of Minnesota and a three-time national champion from 1934 to 1936, who went on to play for the New York Giants and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
