The Scandinavian Pioneers
Due to the enormous amount of Scandinavians who pioneered in the County of Camrose, i've decided to create a page with links to theirpast travels and homesteads, prior to their settlement here.
Camrose on the May Celebration in 1915. Notice the two flags.
The Scandinavian pioneers of the Camrose County, were as a majority, settlers of the American northern states who , through friends , family, and Canadian Government officials, were encouraged to immigrate to this area. They followed a general path from Minnesota and surrounding states, via the train to Winnipeg and from there , onward to Calgary and Wetaskiwin. At Wetaskiwin, they were generally met by landmen who took them to the areas in the County where homesteads were available. One of these land guides was Edmund Thompson , a norwegian immigrant himself, who had married an American wife while living in Minnesota.
