History

South Fork began in 1913. By 1923 there were three grain elevators, a lumber yard, cafe, blacksmith, pool hall, feed mill, and general store.

A fire in 1928, the depression, and better roads started South Fork on a decline.

The last grain elevator closed in 1974 and moved to a farm south of Dollard.^{[citation needed]}
