Owner's Description

Baudette, MN The First NB Ch. # 10710 PMG 20 $20 1929 Ty 1 Fr. 1802-1 SN D000050A pp D11/77. GPO Overprinting Plate. Only issuer in the County Seat of Lake of the Woods County. Baudette was started by European Americans as a steamboat landing and lumber town with a sawmill, after the railroad was constructed through this area in 1901. It was named for Joseph Beaudette, a trapper of French-Canadian descent who had been in the area since the early 1880s. The post office at Baudette began in 1900, first called "Port Hyland", after postmaster Daniel Hyland. The name was changed to "Baudette" in 1901. Baudette had a station of the Minnesota and Manitoba Railroad, since absorbed by the Canadian National Railway.
