Area Information
- Location:
Morden is located in south-central Manitoba, 120 km from Winnipeg and only 19 km from the U.S. border.
- Morden was founded in 1882, when the Canadian Pacific Railway built a railway line crossing the Dead Horse Creek (called Le Cheval Mort by the French fur traders) at a place then known as Cheval. This spot became a popular resting place as it was ideal to provide water for drinking and locomotives. The settlement was renamed "Morden", after Alvey Morden, on whose family's land the community was established.
- Morden was incorporated as a municipality in 1882 granted and town status in 1903 and later city status in 2012. Wikipedia
