History

The first settlement at St. Anthony was made in 1887 by a colony of German Catholics. A post office called Saint Anthony was established in 1902, and remained in operation until 1991. As of 2018, a restored school and church still remain at the townsite, as well as a newly built restaurant, Rusty's Saloon and Grill, taking the place of the former Hoffman's Bar.
