Austin’s Colorful Founding Days And Then Some
Austin and its community marked a 75th anniversary as settlers arrived from 1882 forming the rural municipality of North Norfolk. The CPR route shifted the town’s location, Emmeline School opened in 1882, Erskin Broadfoot started the first store, and Walter Clifford emerged as founder with The Peoples Store and the Austin Kour Mill.
