Town history

edit

I just came by to see how the town got its name but noticed that the first line of History section makes no sense and it doesn't feel very encyclopaedic. Anyone? It reads: "The memories of many incidents associated with the arrival of our forefathers in Odin Township are rekindled as visit those who relate true facts and those who pass on legend."

Obviously a lightly visited article, based on 12 years having passed! Based on the writing style, I would guess that the history section is taken wholesale from a published village history. This needs to be rewritten, condensed, and properly sourced. Ken Gallager (talk) 16:24, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
