Early History of the Narrows and Marshall Chambers Park
The Narrows near Shoal Lake first appears in 1862 diaries of Hudsons Bay Company directors. Settlement began 1876 with Malcolm McMillan, then NWMP barracks in 1877 and police arrival in 1878. The village grew with stores, a hotel, and a cairn later, while borders shifted as Manitoba joined. The park birthplace traces to 1938 donations by Mrs. Jean Chambers and Andrew Marshall, with a long running old timers picnic and annual hopes despite wartime disruption.
