Many of the towns in this part of Minnesota are named after the Railroad Superitendants. Towns like Olivia (Named for a female friend of RR super) and Delano and such are named after the Rail Road men as they help build the town. I would bet that the town of Watkins is no different.
Hope this helps!!
