In 1900 an inland settlement began in Simpson Township in the southwestern part of Stark County. It was named for John O. Daglum, who erected and operated the first store in which he established the post office in 1906. Many of the Daglum settlers were Norwegians, who had first settled in Beresford, South Dakota, before coming here. They included Halvor, Hans and Ole Peterson, Albert and Ole Burwick and Will Hedge. Daglum had its own school from 1907 to 1961, when it became part of the New England School District. Fires in 1932 and 1957 destroyed the Lutheran Church in Daglum, and a third church today stands on the site of the original building.
