Minchau is a residential neighbourhood in the Mill Woods area of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is named for August Minchau, one of the first settlers on the land. Poland-born, Minchau moved as a young person to Volhynia, Russia where he married. He and his wife Caroline emigrated to Canada in 1894, settling in what is now Millwoods and spawning a network of families of that name resident in Edmonton. [8]
