History

The town's history dates back to shortly after the turn of the 20th century. The first permanent European settler was John L. McDonald, but the town's site would eventually be moved a couple of miles away to accommodate the coming of the railroad. Growth came with the railroad, and by 1908 the community requested and was granted incorporation. The main industry in the region was agriculture, a sector of the economy that remains a driving force today. Since 1990, the town has fostered a mural painting program, leading the community to be called "The Town with the Painted Past." 

Parks and Recreation 

The town's government manages a handful of beautiful parks. These include a peaceful Japanese garden and plenty of open areas for hosting a picnic. There is also an extensive trail system that outdoor lovers won't be able to resist. The nearly 20 playgrounds that are dotted throughout the city mean that most neighborhoods have a perfect place for children to gather. Other city facilities include a public golf course, an arena for hockey and lacrosse, and a community swimming pool
