Hamiota Village Began In 1906 With Local Leaders
The article recalls the incorporation of Hamiota as a village on December 1 1906 following a petition by at least 75 householders and freeholders. It notes the first elected mayor and councillors, the January 1907 oath of office, and mentions long service by the early secretary’s son. It also covers spring sightings in the area and portions on local church beginnings, palm to pine travel, and April showers.
