The settlement was named for Sir Donald Mann, vice-president of the Canadian Northern Railway.[1]
On July 9, 1928, Vernon Booher killed his mother, brother, and two farm hands in Mannville following his argument with his mother. Booher had killed the others to eliminate witnesses. Booher's case drew attention after Adolph Langsner, a psychiatrist who claimed to be able to read minds, correctly guessed that he was the murderer and where he had hidden the weapon used. Booher was hanged for the murders in 1929.[2]
The Mannville Group, an oil and gas bearing unit of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, was named for the village by A.W. Nauss in 1945.[3]
