== History ==
The city of Akeley was incorporated on December 30, 1916. It was largely developed by a partnership between lumber magnate T. B. Walker and Healy C. Akeley, who formed the Red River Lumber Company in 1893.〔(Sketches of the life of Honorable T. B. Walker. A compilation of biographical sketches )〕 General settlement of Akeley began in 1895. After Walker built a sawmill in 1902, Akeley's development skyrocketed. The mill was once the largest in the state of Minnesota.〔(Akeley Paul Bunyan Historical Society Museum )〕 Thomas B. Walker had intended to build the mill in what would later become Walker, Minnesota, but chose Akeley instead because of his disapproval of the bars and brothels in the Walker area.〔Walker, Minnesota〕
Because of the mill, and the train depot built in 1899, Akeley became a boomtown.〔(Akeley, Minnesota City Guide )〕 Lumberjacks came and went on every freight train. The population swelled from 2,000 to over 3, 500 between 1907 and 1908.〔 Now the town has fewer than 500 residents.
