The page conjectures the "[f]rom the appearance of the area today, (not incontrovertible evidence), Choate was an agricultural community." Choate was an agricultural community. "Based on an article published 13 Dec 1900 by the Minneapolis Journal, it looks as if the town was actually owned by the Oshkosh Logging and Lumber company and sold it after they decided to abandon operations. The company owned all buildings and land within the town including a sawmill, theater and a schoolhouse. At that time the population was estimated at 500 persons. (Erick Thomas Johnson. )
