On July 6 to 8. the residents of Tolna will gather to celebrate their communitys history and founding. Tolnas history began in May 1906. when D.B. Tallman founded the town as a stopping point for trains on the Great Northern Railroad. Tallmans daughter could not pronounce the name "Tallman." so they named the town "Tolna" after the way she pronounced it. The town grew quickly and was settled mostly by German and Norwegian immigrants. many of whose descendants live in Tolna today. Tolna remains an active and involved community. The Tolna Summer Rec Program sponsors a large number of sports teams for area youth and sports events involving the entire town.
