Nielsville, Minnesota - The settlement dates back to May of 1872 when Nels O. Paulsrud, for whom the village (Nielsville) was named, settled in what is now Hubbard township about a mile and one-half northwest of the present Nielsville and near the Little River battlefield. Paulsrud came to America from Norway in 1869, and together with his family, built a small cabin on his claim. An old deed reveals that the pioneer's name was really Nels (or Nils) Olson, and that the name Paulsrud was adopted later from the estate where they lived in Norway.
