History

Craigville was previously a logging village in southern Koochiching County; north of Effie. The community of Craigville consists of section 36 of Township 63N, Range 26W.

Craigville was platted in 1924 by James Reid. It was named for an unknown logging foreman named Craig. Craigville was frequented by as many as 5,000 lumberjacks seasonally; and had a post office from 1915 until 1952. In addition to numerous hotels and saloons, Craigville also had a station of the former Minneapolis and Rainy River Railway.[2]

One of the photos used in the theme song for the television series Cheers (1982–1993) was taken in Craigville in 1937, by photographer Russell Lee of the former Farm Security Administration.[3]
