The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Burbank Township is a township in Kandiyohi County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 510 at the 2000 census. Burbank Township was organized in 1866, and named for Henry Clay Burbank, an area merchant.

Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 566 people in 2010, 571 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1987.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Burbank yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

National Register of Historic Places

Nothing in Burbank is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Burbank has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Sibley State Park CCC/Rustic Style Historic District in Lake Andrew, 5.7 miles away.
