Area Information
- In 1906, the first homestead was filed in the Lost River District, followed by settlers and lumber mills.The CPR located four miles northwest of this settlement at a place called Ravine Bank.
- The immense advantages of a railroad link with the outside to receive and dispatch goods, grain, livestock, lumber, mail, passengers and the potential for a thriving distribution centre in the north was immediately recognized. Therefore, with advent of the railway in 1924 and through a feat of incredible resourcefulness and endurance the men of Ravine Bank moved every building with teams of horses to the carefully laid-out town site in the jack pines adjacent to the station which bore the name NIPAWIN.
