Editing Green Isle, Minnesota (section)

==History==
The [[Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway]] (M&StL) originally built the railroad tracks between Norwood and Morton ''circa'' 1880. Green Isle was [[plat]]ted in 1881, incorporating these northeast/southwest-oriented tracks. The town was named after the previously existing township, its name alluding to [[Ireland]], the Emerald Isle, as many of its earliest settlers were from Ireland.<ref>{{cite book|last=Upham|first=Warren|title=Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance|url=https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog|year=1920|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|page=[https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog/page/n536 519]}}</ref>
