Eagle Bend is a city in Todd County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 535 at the 2010 census. Eagle Bend was first settled in the early 1880s. The first pioneers were Charles O’Dell, a merchant, and Marion Crider, a homesteader from eastern Kentucky. When O’Dell opened his general store, his first customer was Crider, who bought a pound of coffee. The townsite was purchased by a railroad executive, Benjamin F. Abbott, who wished to change the name of the town to Abbottsville; however, sensibility prevailed and the evocative name of Eagle Bend was retained. The post office was established in O’Dell’s store in 1882, and the village was incorporated on January 21, 1890
