The first settlers in the Bemidji area were primarily Indigenous peoples, particularly the Ojibwe (Chippewa) tribe, who inhabited the region long before European settlers arrived. In the late 19th century, European settlers, including those of Scandinavian and German descent, began to move into the area, attracted by the Natural Resources and opportunities for logging and agriculture. The establishment of the town of Bemidji in 1896 marked the beginning of a more permanent settlement by these newer communities.
