The area was first settled in 1901 by Paul Henderson, younger brother of Jack Henderson, hangman of Louis Riel. [1] Subsequent to Paul Henderson's death from exposure in 1903, other settlers followed; in 1906 the village was incorporated and named "Earl Grey" after Albert Grey, 4th Earl Grey, Canada's Governor General at the time. [2]

Currently, the town has two churches (Christ Lutheran Church [ELCIC] and a United Church), one Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, several old-age homes, a hotel, a curling rink, and a veterinary clinic. A small statue of a grain elevator is displayed in the downtown area, a commemorative tribute to the village's once-thriving grain economy.

The public school was downsized to a Kindergarten-Grade 8 school in the 2003–2004 school year, before closing completely in 2007. [3]

History

Earl Grey incorporated as a village on July 27, 1906. [4]
