from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Nore Township is a township in Itasca County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 66 at the 2020 census. Nore Township was named for Kittil S. and Syver K. Nohre, Norwegian settlers.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 57 to 66 (+16%). Half of its homes were built before 1982.

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