 | | November 10, 1908, as Ladbury township, its name was changed to Sibley, January 19, 1909, and finally to Sibley Trail Township, April 13, 1910, for the route of General Sibley through the northern part of Barnes County and particularly for the place where he crossed the Sheyenne River. |
 | | January 28, 1891, the township was named for the rural PO of Skandia, and was settled mainly by Norwegians and Swedes, many of whom came in the early 1880's. |
