History

European settlement began in the 1850s, when loggers came to clear the land, followed by farmers. The township was incorporated in the early 1880s.[2]

In 1948, construction began on the Otto Holden Generating Station, leading to a temporary influx of immigrants.[2]

In 1975, the Mount Antoine ski hill opened, which closed in 2000 and reopened again in 2015.[3]
