Ituna is a prosperous, pretty, and active community with a colourful history and a beautiful regional park nearby.
The Town of Ituna 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. Ituna is part of the second cycle, situated between Hubbard Junction and Jasmin.
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.
The name, "Ituna" is quite unique and its origin is quite obscure. It appears to have been an ancient name of the region of Solway Firth at the end on Hadrian's Wall in Scotland.
