September 2nd, 1873, Norwegian homesteader Ole Strandwold established the town of Trysil around 8 miles north of Dakota City, around 6 miles east of Gardner, North Dakota; shortly after a Norwegian Lutheran church was built and named Trysil Lutheran Church. The Trysil name did not last: the church changed its name to Nora Lutheran Church in 1885[1], and Strandwold's post office was eliminated in 1899[2].
