City Name History:   Named by Dr. J.B. Smith, first settler, in response to the postal rule to select an unduplicated name for a new post office. Orondo was chief of the legendary people who operated cooper mines in the Lake Superior region in pre-Indian times.  Purportedly the mythical miners were emigrants from the lost continent of Atlantis, who escaped just prior to its sinking.
