In 1903, Mrs. Leora Delisle with her four sons, Amos, Fred, Ed, and Eugene arrived from North Dakota and took up homesteading. A settlement grew with the Delisle's hardware store, a post office, a community hall, livery barn, and St. Anne's Catholic Church. In 1908, the railway arrived but it went through 3 miles north of the settlement. Unfazed, the settlers moved all their buildings to where the railway was and Delisle was born.
