History

Starbuck was platted in the spring of 1882, as a village on the Northern Pacific railway, adjoining Lake Minnewaska. The growth and settlement of Pope County were greatly retarded for many years by the lack of railway and shipping facilities, which obliged settlers to go long distances into adjoining counties to market their products.

The town was reportedly named after Stabekk in Bærum in Akershus county, Norway. But Geographical Names of Manitoba says the village of Starbuck, Manitoba, is thought to have been named after the town in Minnesota by a contractor working for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885, and that Starbuck, Minnesota, was named after William H. Starbuck of New York, who financed the Little Falls and Dakota Railroad. Some also believe the town’s name comes from the oxen used to build the railroad through the town, whose names were Star and Buck.
