Celina was a St. Louis County village in the early 20th century. A post office operated in Celina from 1908 to 1913. The postmaster was Theodore Hall. In 1913, the post office closed; mail was routed through Nass. The post office reopened in 1914 and closed again in 1935.[5] John Gilbertson also served as a postmaster in Celina.[6]
The Evangelical Lutheran Church operated in Celina around this time;[7] the Celina Lutheran Church was founded in 1909.[8][9] An area resident wrote, "There is room here for many more of our Norwegian Lutheran people. The country about Cook, Bear River, Celina, Sturgeon River, and several places here, is very good and yet cheap. St. Louis County is known for the good roads that are built, and the mining companies have to pay most of the cost. There are good schools here, the "range towns" are known all over the country for their splendid school buildings and their good system of governance. [...] In Celina, we plan to build a church in the spring, if everything goes according to what we have planned."[10]
There were also two general stores in Celina, one operated by Theodore Hall.[11][12]
Alookout tower was to be constructed in the Celina area in 1929 to protect the area from fires.[13]
In 1940, Celina's population was 5.[2]
In 1974, the County Highway 114 bridge on the Little Fork River between the communities of Greaney and Celina was heavily damaged by fire. The cost to repair the bridge was estimated at $750,000. The bridge, which was 200 feet (61 m) long, was the main link between the two settlements.[14]
In 2006, Celina had an estimated population of 10.[15]
Landet omkring Cook, Bear River, Celina, Sturgeon River, og flere steder her, er meget godt og endnu billig. St. Louis Co. er bekjendt for de gode veier som anlægges, og minekompaniene maa betale det meste op tatten. Her er gode skoler, "rangebyene" er jo bekjendt hele landet over for sine prægtige skolehus og sit gode stelesystem. [...] Celina har vi tænkt at bygge kirke til vaaren, hvis alt gaar efter hvad vi har planet.
The 200-foot bridge, which spans the Little Fork River on County Highway 114, was a main link between the communities of Celina and Greaney.
