The Name McIntosh<\/h1>\nThe Name McIntosh<\/h1>\nAngus J. McIntosh gave his name to a town in which he would live only briefly.\u00a0 An enterprising individual, he purchased some of the open land in the town site located a few miles west of his store and lodging house.<\/p>\n
In the year 1882 the thirteen towns were opened for homesteads and the year of 1886 started the settlement of McIntosh.\u00a0 Mr. S.P. Johnson (the first settler) realized the advantage it would be to settlers to have a village in this locality.\u00a0 He came upon this tract of school land, after much deliberation and planning, he succeeded in getting Ole Lee and Knute Austin to be interested in his plans.\u00a0 Mr. McIntosh had a general store located north-east of this school land, known as \u201cOld McIntosh.\u201d\u00a0 When Mr. S.P. Johnson started a general store on the school land, this became known as \u201cNew McIntosh\u201d making the \u201cOld\u201d and \u201cNew\u201d rivals.\u00a0 There was much excitement when the railroad came in, to see which one was to be the winner.<\/p>\n
