Alida is an unincorporated community in Clearwater County, in the U.S. state of Minnesota.[1]

History

A post office was established at Alida in 1898, and remained in operation until being discontinued in 1945.[2][3] The community was named by John Lind, 14th Governor of Minnesota, perhaps after a place of the same name in Indiana or Kansas.[4]
