History

Hamburg was platted in 1864 by Wesley Martin.[1] It was named after Hamburg, in Germany.[2]

Hamburg was once a thriving Catholic community. St. Ann's Catholic Church was founded in Hamburg in 1869. The Church closed its doors in 2013 merging with Holy Family Parish in Oldenburg.[3][4]

A post office was established at Hamburg in 1867, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1929.[5]

During the Super Outbreak on April 3, 1974 a tornado destroyed 90% of the town.[6]
