When visiting Hubbard, one of the things you may notice is that just about every residence is marked with a landscape painting! Even the post office! If you do a little web-searching, you will find that there are a remarkable number of people in this area who offer painting lessons.
The Village of Hubbard originally adopted its name from the name of the railroad station that was established as part of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad. Back when the Grand Trunk Railway Company was planning a western expansion of their establish rail system, an unknown person devised an alphabetical naming scheme to name all of the un-named stations and lines, starting in Manitoba, cycling five full rounds of the alphabet, and starting a sixth before finally ending at Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Hubbard is part of the second cycle, situated between Goodeve Junction and Ituna.
Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad went out of business in the early 1920's. The railroad was taken over by the Canadian government and was made part of the Canadian National Railroad which is very active to this day.
