Andover first organized in 1857 as Round Lake Township. In 1860 after an Anoka, Minnesota speech by U.S. Representative Galusha Aaron Grow from Pennsylvania who was an abolitionist and a major figure in the Homestead Act, the town name was changed to Grow Township. Ham Lake Township split from Andover, known as Grow Township at the time, in 1871. Once a stop on the Great Northern Railway, Andover was established as a city in 1976. [edit] Research Tips
