History

Marengo incorporated as a village on November 5, 1910. The village originally incorporated under the name of Melbourne, which was probably a preliminary name given by the Canadian Northern Railway. However, the post office was given the name Marengo in 1911, named after Marengo, Illinois, the hometown of pioneer J. Ray Goodrich. Later in 1911, its name was changed to Fuller after a manager of a ranch, because the post office would not allow "Melbourne". After three years, it changed back to Marengo. On October 8, 2020, a grain elevator caught on fire in the town; the fire was expected and no one was injured.
