History
The first permanent settler in what is now Amberg was Warren Buckman (1857–1925), who established a trading post west of the Pike River in 1883. He was followed by Charles Dahl (1862–1944), a railroad surveyor, in 1884. The post office was established in 1884 with the name ''Pike'', and the name was changed to ''Amberg'' in 1890.
It is named after William Amberg (1847–1918), a Chicago businessman that created granite quarries in the area.
