A centered history recalls Sigundur Christopherson Khristian Jonsson Skapti Arason Haldor Anderson and Fridbjorn Frederickson as early Icelandic settlers leaving Gimli after 1880 floods. They scouted Argyle Manitoba for 160 acre homesteads forming a sixteen quarter community and tying to Glenboro centennial plans.

History of Argyle Lutherans and early Manitoba settlers

The Argyle Lutheran community grew from home Sunday schools to school houses with lay services. Early readers included Bjorn Jonsson and Frederick Jonsson. Hard farm journeys to Brandon, Carberry, and Manitou occurred before the CPR rail expansion in Glenboro. In 1890 Forsyth lumber and stores began, with Fredjon Frederickson building a general store. By 1889 Argyle Lutheran church funds reached 1050 dollars, with B Hallgrimson as architect and Hafsteinn Petersson opening sermons. Icelandic Lutherans have long stood in Argyle, now aged 91 in 1980.
