History edit
Lund was issued a post office in 1892. The post office was discontinued in 1907 when it was moved to Dresden (10 miles southeast of Lund).[2] Lund was not named on the 1910 census but was part of Summit Township, population 24.
A church and cemetery are all that remains of this former community.
