Editing Longville, Minnesota (section)

==History==
{{Main|History of Minnesota}}
The area was inhabited for thousands of years by succeeding cultures of [[indigenous peoples|Indians]]. Before European settlement, the [[Ojibwe]] moved into the area from the Great Lakes, pushing out the historic [[Sioux#Eastern Dakota|Dakota]] peoples, such as the [[Assiniboine people|Assiniboine]] and [[Hidatsa]]. European American settlers followed the early fur traders and trappers, and encroached on Native American territories.

Longville started around 1906 as a logging town in what is now [[Cass County, Minnesota|Cass County]]. [[Fishing]] was very popular in early Longville and is still prevalent today. Tourism later grew as a service industry. In the 20th century, people from urban areas came to more rural areas for recreation associated with lakes, fishing, hunting and water sports. All the roads in and around Longville were dirt until the 1920s. Much of the downtown was rebuilt during the mid-20th century. Many of the cabins in the surrounding landscape were built in the late 1960s and 1970s. By the 1980s the Longville area was almost fully developed. The town has changed little since 1990. {{Citation needed|date=November 2020}}
