Stratford, located in East Rondell Township, was a latecomer in Brown County platted in Oct. 1906. The town was founded on the last rail line to be built, the Mpls. & St. Louis Railway. It was almost two years later that the first train came through. On June 18, 1919 the town of Stratford was incorporated. The high school was closed in 1958 and the students were sent to Warner. In 1977 the railroad line was abandoned. The last elevator was closed in 2002. The future for Stratford could appear bleak if one were to just look at the surface. This tiny town has withstood many assaults since it's incorporation and will most likely withstand many more. But if there is an attitude that permeates the heart of Stratford, it would have to be something like "Don't tell us we can't!"
