Topelius (also called Dopelius, Amboy, or Benton's Crossing) is a ghost town in Otter Tail County, in the U.S. state of Minnesota.[1]
A post office was established under the name Dopelius on May 10, 1901, and remained in operation until January 31, 1916.[2][3] The community was renamed by Heikki Hendrickson (Kantomaa) for Zachris Topelius, a Swedish-language poet, when the post office began in 1901.[4][5]
