A short history of Murdock

A post office has been in operation at Murdock since 1878. Murdock was platted in 1881 by S. S. Murdock, and named for him. Murdock was incorporated in 1881.

Sabin S. Murdock, who platted the town that was to bear his name, had purchased 3,000 acres of land from the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad in Dublin Township in 1876 for the purpose of developing a new business district along the rail line midway between DeGraff and Kerkhoven. In the town's first years, Murdock was the dominant landowner as well as a farmer, a grain elevator and one of the largest stables in the community.

The Asatru Folk Assembly (AFA), a neo-pagan organization, purchased the former Calvary Lutheran Church in the town for use as a gathering place for members of the Northern Great Plains.

The Murdock Town Council voted on December 9, 2020 to allow the AFA conditional approval to use the former church, which caused uproar as the AFA only allows white people to become members of the religion, leading to accusations of racism against the AFA and Murdock.
