History
The city's name is derived from the Sioux word for ' fast flowing water ' from.
The first white settlers John Tanner taught in 1869 a ferry across the Little Saskatchewan River one, the construction of a bridge in 1879 made this obsolete. As the actual founder of the city is Joseph Armitage, in 1879 some parcels bought by the river and organized the colonization of the area. In 1883 the church became independent.
Between 1910 and 1912, a dam on the Little Saskatchewan River was built, which served the generation of electrical energy.
