The settlement expanded eastward and northward, and by the end of 1900, the number of settlers reached approximately 3,000. The first Ukrainian Orthodox Church was built in the vicinity of Gardenton in 1897; and the first Ukrainian Catholic Church began construction in 1899 and completed in 1902 in the vicinity of Stuartburn.
