The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Regan was established after the Northern Pacific Railway built a line through the area in 1912. The settlement was named for J. Austin Regan, a land company official who had platted the townsite in 1911. A post office and a church opened in 1912, and a newspaper, The Regan Headlight, was established in 1913. The Regan School opened in 1914 in a building previously used as a barbershop. The early town had two banks, a lumber yard, a blacksmith shop, a butcher shop, and a hotel. A telephone company was established in 1915, and Regan was incorporated as a village in 1916. An automobile garage opened in 1917.

Nothing in Regan is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Regan has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Soo Line Depot in Wilton, 12 miles away.
