Nerstrand was founded in 1885 by Osmund Osmundson from Nedstrand in Tysvær, Norway. From the same year it was a stop on the Minnesota and North Western Railroad's first rail line, which extended from Lyle, Minnesota to St. Paul. The line was later acquired by the Chicago Great Western Railway Company. It has since been dismantled.
