It was once a station on the former Chicago Great Western Railway between Red Wing and Rochester, Minnesota.[2] Rail spurs extended two miles to the east to clay pits, where clay was mined and shipped by rail to the stoneware industry of Red Wing.[3][4] A post office was established as Claybank in 1890, and remained in operation until 1904.[5]
