| | History | Settlers first came to the area in the spring of 1906. The following year brought more, but it was not until 1908 that great progress was made. This was when the Luse Land and Development Co. of St. Paul, Minn., commenced operations in the area.
In 1909, a number of farmers banded together for the purpose of obtaining shipping facilities. This was called the Heart's Hill Community Club and it sent representatives to Winnipeg where information that the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) would build was received. The steel arrived in 1910 with the first passenger train close behind on September 15, 1910.
Luseland was declared a Village on December 10, 1910 and a Town on January 1, 1954.
