History

In the spring of 1680 Father Louis Hennepin, and two traveling companions, Michael Accult and Peter Dulay were captured by the Sioux Indians and led to a settlement in what is now Champlin. At the junction of Elm Creek and the Mississippi River, it is believed that a Native American trading post was established during the 18th and 19th centuries. The first permanent resident would be Charles Miles, who built a house just south of Elm Creek around 1852.

In 1858 a Marshall township was established. 1859 Marshall was split into Champlin and Dayton. Champlin got its name from U.S. Navy Commodore Stephen Champlin. He fought in the War of 1812 against Canada and England. He also played an important role of establishing the Canadian US border.
