History

Zelma incorporated as a village on August 10, 1910. [1]

The Zelma Church was built in 1909 with a load of lumber for $500 and volunteer labour. Initially a Presbyterian Church, it was reorganised in 1917 as the Zelma United Church. [2]

Until 1912, students were required to attend school in the neighbouring communities of Stonemount or Golden Wheat due to reluctance of many of the farmers (who were bachelors) in the area to vote in favour of spending tax money on a school. In 1912 the school district was established, originally using the church for classes until a one-room school house was constructed in 1925. The school closed in 1969, with students bussed to Young. [3]

During the early years following the establishment of Zelma, the village had a thriving business community with a general store, lumber yards, a hotel, bakery, flour mill, and grain elevators; most of these business had disappeared by the end of the 1940s. [4]
