Org today
The last person who claimed to be Mayor of Org, Mark Marcotte, left the town
circa 1980, though there is no evidence that Mr. Marcott was actually elected to that post. In 2000, Org's original roadway was downgraded to a "minimum maintenance roadway", and by 2010, many of the remaining homes were bought up by the State of Minnesota to make way for the upgrading of
Minnesota State Highway 60 from two lanes to four lanes. The former
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad line is now operated by
Union Pacific, and is busier than ever. But as for Org, nearly every trace of the town is gone.
