The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Winslow was platted in 1906. The origin of the name Winslow has not been identified. It was incorporated as a village in 1909.

In March 2019 a flood destroyed Winslow. Flood water trapped many in their homes and resulted in many homes being abandoned, leading to many moving to neighboring areas.
