History

Wahkon was established in 1885 as Pots Town, then its name changed to Lawrence in 1891 when the post office was established. A second Pottstown was platted next to Lawrence in 1901 by T.E. Potts. In 1907, Wahkon was platted by Soo Line Railroad. By 1910, Pottstown and Lawrence amalgamated into Wahkon. Wahkon was incorporated on November 6, 1912. Before the establishment Wahkon, the site was an Ojibwe village named Sagawamick (from the Ojibwe language Zaagawaamik, meaning “Sandbar”). Prior to being an Ojibwe village, it was also a Mdewakanton Dakota village.
