Bunde is an unincorporated community located in Chippewa County, Minnesota, United States, and can be found approximately 100 miles due west of Minneapolis.
Bunde was founded by W.D. Ammermann. In 1887, W.D. moved to Minnesota from Bunde, Germany, which was in the Rheiderland District. He originally wanted to name the township in which he settled after Bunde, Germany, but it didn't stick. So he instead named the township after the district in Germany where he was from. He then built a church and named it Bunde Christian Reformed Church.[1]
Bunde is located 100 miles west of Minneapolis. The closest town, Clara City is located 2.6 miles away, with a population of approximately 1,300.[2] The town of Willmar is the closest town with a larger population, located 20 minutes northeast of Bunde.
