Nels is a son of Jacob N. Quandahl, a native of Norway, who came to America with his wife and family in 1854 and settled first in Winneshiek county. From there he moved three years later to Waterloo township, Allamakee county, Iowa, and purchased one hundred and twenty acres of land, a property which he afterward sold, buying another farm on section 30.

Nels Quandahl was reared in his parents' home, having come with them to America. He joined his father and his brother Pedra (Peter)J or P.J. in the conduct of a grist mill and a general store in the town of their namesake and also in the operation of one hundred and eighty acres of land in Waterloo township. Their association continued for seventeen years, at the end of which time the property was divided between the two sons.
