The settlement of the Champlin area began when Father Louis Hennepin, a Franciscan priest from whom Hennepin County, Minnesota gets its name, Michael Accult and Peter Dulay were captured by the Sioux Indians. An Indian trading post was eventually established in the area. Charles Miles created the first permanent settlement in what came to be called the Marshall Township. In 1859, it was split into two towns, Champlin and Dayton. Champlin gets its name from U.S. Navy Commodore Stephen Champlin, who fought in the war of 1812 and helped establish the boundary between the United States and Canada. Also, Rebecca Lind was born here.
