==History==
When the "Thirteen Towns", 13 townships in Polk County, Minnesota, were opened for settlement in 1883, settlers homesteaded the region. King Township, which contained the village of McIntosh, was one of the 13. The village was named for Angus John (A.J.) McIntosh, a man of Scottish descent, who immigrated from French Canada to the United States in 1870. He lived most of his years on the White Earth Indian Reservation north of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The only census in which he was residing in King Township was the 1895 Minnesota State Census.

McIntosh's population has decreased since the 1940s.<ref name=Reinan>{{cite magazine| last1=Reinan |first1=John | title= A Christmas blessing: Young mother brings a dying Minnesota town back to life|magazine=[[StarTribune]] |date=December 15, 2019}}</ref>
