Hirschville is an unincorporated community in Dunn County, North Dakota, United States. [1]
The Hirschville area was settled by German-Hungarians [2] and German-Russians. [3] [4]
On May 11, 1911, a U.S. post office was annexed to the general store. The mail route was connected to Taylor in neighboring Stark County. [5] The station was called Hirschville in commemoration of its founder, Casper Hirsch [6] [7] (1865–1931, name sometimes also spelled Kaspar [6] or Kasper [8]). Pius Stockie (1885–1960) was appointed mail carrier. [9] Casper Hirsch served as the postmaster at Hirschville until he relocated to Wisconsin in 1917. [6] [10] The Hirschville post office was discontinued in 1920. [7]
St. Philip's Parish was established in 1907. [4] On December 12, 1910, Casper and Marianna Hirsch donated 6 acres (24,000 m2) of land for St. Philip's Catholic Church to hold services for German-speaking immigrants. Shortly after the church was completed, Casper Hirsch established a grocery and hardware store nearby. In 1916 a fair was held in Hirschville to raise money for a new church building there. [11] [12] The new church served a congregation of 130 families when it was completed. [13] In the 1990s, the Hirschville church was a mission church of Saints Peter and Paul Church in New Hradec. [14]
By the late 1990s, the church's active congregation had declined to only a dozen families at most, [13] [15] and a farewell mass was held at the church on June 27, 1998. [16] Although there was local interest in preserving the church with support from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the church was burned in 2000. [13] [15] [17]
