About New Baden
New Baden was founded in 1881 by German, Prussian, and Swiss immigrants who named it for Baden-Baden. Settlers built a communal Colony House to lodge families while homes were under construction, and the town grew along the International and Great Northern Railroad with stores, churches, and a school. Its economy rested on farming until population declined in the 1940s.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at New Baden
Founded by German, Prussian, and Swiss immigrants in 1881, New Baden was named for the German town of Baden-Baden. The immigrants built a central building known as the Colony House to provide lodging for families while homes were under construction. Located on the route of the International & Great Northern Railroad, the town soon boasted stores, churches, a school, and a railroad station. Most of the residents were farmers, and the economy was based on agriculture. Population declined in the 1940s, but New Baden remains a viable rural community.
