History

Bunde was founded by W.D. Ammermann. In 1887, W.D. moved to Minnesota from Bunde, Germany, which was in the Rheiderland District. He originally wanted to name the township in which he settled after Bunde, Germany, but it didn't stick. So he instead named the township after the district in Germany where he was from. He then built a church and named it Bunde Christian Reformed Church. [2]
