New Hungary and New Sweden Colonies Formed Near Minnedosa
This Week in History recounts two early Manitoba settlements near Minnedosa on lands held by the Manitoba and Northwestern Railway. The New Hungary Colony led by G S De Dory housed 17 families by 1885 with rails ties and charcoal work, while New Sweden led by N D Ennis opened Noreus post office and built a large settlers’ hall before winter fires. Wildlife thrived on Riding Mountain slopes as beaver and muskrat persisted and wolves howled at night, evoking home for settlers.
