The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Deer Park Township is a township in Pennington County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 126 at the 2010 census. Deer Park Township was so named from the fact deer was often hunted within its borders.

Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 126 people in 2010, 128 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1965.

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

Nothing in Deer Park is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Deer Park has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Clearwater Evangelical Lutheran Church in Equality, 4.4 miles away.
