Warroad was once one of the largest Ojibwe villages on Lake of the Woods. The Ojibwe fought a long war against the Sioux for the lake's rice fields. Occupying the prairies of the Red River Valley, the Sioux often invaded the territory by way of the Red and Roseau Rivers, a route that ended at the mouth of the Warroad River. This was the old "war road" from which the river and village derive their name.
In the 20th century, Warroad had a strong commercial fishing industry, which gradually turned to sport fishing and tourism. For many years, commercial boats provided regular service to the islands and to Kenora, Ontario, at the north end of Lake of the Woods. The lumber industry also boomed, bringing the Great Northern and Canadian National railways to town and seeing the beginning of one of the largest window manufacturers, Marvin Windows.
Warroad is also called "Hockeytown USA" for its strong hockey tradition. The Warroad High School program has earned five men's state championship titles (1994,1996, 2003, 2005, 2026) and four women's (2010, 2011, 2022, 2023) over 20 years, and has produced NHL and Olympic players. Up to and including 2026, no U.S. Hockey Olympic men's team has won a gold medal without a player from Warroad. Another important piece of Warroad hockey history is the Warroad Lakers amateur team, which existed from 1947 to 1997.
