The Kragero School District 47 was located in Santiago Township.  The school got its name from the people in the area who had emigrated from Kragero, Norway.  These people decided there was a need for a school and held their first planning meeting in the summer of 1897.  At the meeting it was determined where the school would be located, and two acres were purchased from local farmer Jens Ellefson. He was the first settler to own the land that is now Snake River Farm.
