History
The Orum post office ran from June 30, 1890, to March 23, 1904, and was named for Robert Orum. In 1921 Orum had a country store and a shop or two serving the farms around it; Lincoln precinct counted 856 people in 1890.
Danish families settled much of this district. The congregation that became Immanuel Lutheran began as St. Paul's Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Church, and its cemetery, on land given by Niels Andersen, holds about 540 graves.
