The city we know today as Andover was first organized in 1857 under the name "Round Lake Township." However, in 1860 the name was changed to "Grow Township" in honor of Senator Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania. Senator Grow spoke at a political campaign in Anoka that year, and the town name was changed to honor Senator Grow because of his strong advocacy of the Union cause. At that time, the population was 330 and included the geographical area we know today as Ham Lake. In fact, the area of Ham Lake was considered a part of Grow Township until 1871

Train Myth
You may have heard the popular "train myth" about how Andover received its name. The myth states that a train tipped over in a swamp, and an eyewitness, relaying the incident, said it "went over and over," thereby naming the city "Andover."

Research reveals that the name Andover first appeared in an article dated March 14, 1899 in the Anoka County Union Newspaper - before train tracks were ever built in the city. The article stated that the Eastern Minnesota line of the Great Northern Railway was in the process of constructing railroad tracks from the Coon Creek Cut-off to the north. The railway announced that new railroad stations with mathematical precision were to be located 5 miles apart from each other. The new stations (from Coon Creek to the north, along the new railroad line) were to be named Andover, Cedar, Bethel, Isanti, Cambridge, Stanchfield, Braham, Grasston, Cornell, and Brook Park. On July 4, 1899, the 1st train passed through the Andover Station. Where the railway came up with the name Andover still remains unknown.
