The Hamlet was one of the many communities that spawned due to the construction of the railroad in Western Canada during the early 1900's. As the 20th century progressed, the railway has been removed, and has been replaced by the Iron Horse Trail, which is a long, recreational trail intended for all-terrain vehicles.
