Nymore (1902)

The new townsite of Nymore has been making quite a stir in real estate circles. The rather unique name arises from the fact that the land embraced was originally owned by Porter Nye of this city, and the latter syllable of the word is taken from the cognomen of Mr. J. C. Moore, also of Bemidji, who is most interested in the project. The site is in close proximity to the new mill now in process of construction at the south end of the lake.

Thirty-two residence and business lots have already been sold, and the parties purchasing them are preparing to begin the erection of buildings as early as is possible. In addition to this, contracts have been let for the clearing and laying out of streets and the building of a corduroy road on the west side of the site. The sale of lots continues and Nymore bids fair to become a proposition worthy of notice. (Bemidji Daily Pioneer, Nov 6. 1902)
