History

The city was incorporated as a village on December 18, 1907. When the Soo Line built through the county in 1903–4, the general manager, Pennington, and his chief engineer, Thomas Green, named the stations as they moved the line north; all towns on the reservation had to have Native American names. The post office for this community was established in 1905 as Bement, changing to Waubun in 1906. The name Waubun comes from the Ojibwe word which means “the east,” “the morning,” “the twilight of dawn”, and “dawn of day.”
