History

Moingona got its start in 1866, when the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad was extended to that point.[2] The community derives its name from the Moingona Indians.[3] A post office was established at Moingona in 1867, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1928.[4][5]

gollark: It *could* actually be a really good dataset for teaching ML stuff conversation, apart from all the various horrible privacy (and quality) problems.
