The Anderson Pioneer Store was the first store in Sebeka. Before this time settlers had to buy their goods in Wadena or New York Mills (a three-day trip by foot or oxen). By 1891, Sebeka had a sawmill, a general store, and a large log hotel. As more people settled here the hotel became a popular meeting place. The hotel was lost in a fire sometime early in the 20th century. In the last 100 years Sebeka has seen the population go from 233 in 1900 to its high in 1960 with 818. Latest estimates hover around 700. To get a complete history of Sebeka purchase a copy of Pages of Time published in 1998 to commemorate Sebeka's 100 year anniversary as a city. It's packed with over 600 pages of Sebeka area history. You can get a copy of Pages of Time at Ernie's Market and the Review-Messenger. The cost is $25 (plus $3.25 shipping). Proceeds go to the Dollars for Scholars program.  |
