==History==
[[File:Starbuck Depot.jpg|thumb|left|The 1882 [[Little Falls and Dakota Depot]] is now used as a museum and listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places listings in Pope County, Minnesota|National Register of Historic Places]]]]

Starbuck was platted in the spring of 1882, as a village on the [[Northern Pacific Railway|Northern Pacific]] railway, adjoining Lake Minnewaska. The growth and settlement of Pope County were greatly impeded for many years by the lack of railway and shipping facilities, which obliged settlers to go long distances into adjoining counties to market their products.<ref>[http://www.co.pope.mn.us/history.html ''Pope County History'' (Pope County Courthouse)]</ref>

The town was reportedly named after [[Stabekk]] in [[Bærum]] in [[Akershus]] county, [[Norway]]. But ''Geographical Names of Manitoba''<ref>[http://geonames2.nrcan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/v9/sima_unique_v9?english?GBAJK?C ''Geographical Names of Manitoba'']</ref> says the village of [[Starbuck, Manitoba]], is thought to have been named after the town in Minnesota by a contractor working for the [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] in 1885, and that Starbuck, Minnesota, was named after William H. Starbuck of New York, who financed the Little Falls and Dakota Railroad.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://popecountyhistory.com/Cities.html |title=''Pope County History''(from the "Illustrated Album of Biography of Pope and Stevens Counties) |access-date=September 12, 2010 |archive-date=November 30, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101130135725/http://popecountyhistory.com/Cities.html |url-status=dead}}</ref> Some also believe the town's name comes from the oxen used to build the railroad through the town, whose names were Star and Buck.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}
