Foam Lake’s history

Collection

Foam Lake was founded in 1882 by Joshua Milligan, an English fur trader. The town takes its name from the lake about five kilometres to the north-west. Settlers followed, among them Icelanders, Ukrainians and people from various English-speaking backgrounds. Foam Lake was incorporated as a town in 1924, and the Foam Lake Museum, dating from around 1926, is now a Municipal Heritage Property on the Canadian Register of Historic Places.
