History
The first settlers moved into the district in 1882, a few months ahead of the CP Railway. The Bell Farm at Indian Head consisted of 53,000 acres and was so large and out of the ordinary that on many occasions the passenger trains would stop and let the passengers watch the harvesting operation.
Indian Head was incorporated as a town in 1902 and has had many firsts. The water and sewer system was originally installed approximately 80 years ago. The water comes from the Squirrel Hills and flows by gravity for about 10 kms into town. The town had the first rural dial telephone service in the province and was one of the first to have direct long distance calling.
