The Village takes its name from Dunnottar Castle in Scotland. [4]

The meeting was held at 177 McDermot Avenue in the city of Winnipeg. Municipal elections were held later that year in November, officially becoming a village as of 1 January 1948. [4]

Thereafter, Albert J. Smale became Dunnottar's first Mayor. The municipal clerk's office would be located in the Canada Permanent building (298 Garry Street) [6] in Winnipeg. [7]
