This 1902 Plain Back has excellent color and lovely pen signatures of Louis Malm, President and H.J. Malm, Cashier. The holder say previously mounted but I cannot see why. Look for yourself - it's nice. PMG notes: previously mounted. Sanborn, in Barnes County, was founded in 1879; the population was 192 at the 2010 census. The Northern Pacific Railroad built this station in 1877 and townsite promoter Louis S. Lenham platted the site in 1879. The post office was established May 15, 1879 with G. T. Bauder as Postmaster, who named it for George G. Sanborn, Treasurer of the Northern Pacific Railroad. (Mr. Bauder's wife, Lizzie, actually performed the duties at the post office.) In 1881 Mr. William McKean established the Sanborn Enterprise newspaper. The village, which incorporated in 1884, reached a peak population of 675 in 1890.
