Pivotal
Events in the R.M. of Argyle
An Illustrated
Timeline
The following collection of dates and activities has been taken from
local histories with additional material from archival
sources such
as photos,
maps, and contemporary newspaper reports.
A timeline is a useful way to establish a community’s
development, and a good way to note its highlights. All of this
information can be used to develop the kind of content that is helpful
in describing a community’s history through short, effective and
accurate texts that will be appropriate for educational support
materials, plaques, website content, and myriad other follow-up
projects.
The dates and activities have been presented in a decade-by-decade
format, which allows us to relive the past through the lens of the flow
of time; but it is important to note that pivotal events can also be
broadly grouped by major chronological periods in our history attached
to primary activities of a given era.
