History

The first white settler in the area was John Tanner, when he arrived in 1869. Tanner ran a ferry service across the Little Saskatchewan River. Eventually, with the arrival of the railway, the ferry became obsolete, but a small town was started nearby. A dam was built nearby between 1910 and 1912, and this created Minnedosa Lake. The current mayor (as of June, 2005) is Duane Lacoste. 1869 (MDCCCLXIX) is a common year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar) of the Gregorian calendar or a common year starting on Sunday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar. ...
