Rossburn Municipality is a rural municipality (RM) in the Parkland Region of Manitoba, Canada.
It was named for Reverend Richard R. Ross, an early settler to the region.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]The municipality was incorporated on January 1, 2015, via the amalgamation of the former Rural Municipality of Rossburn and the town of Rossburn.[1] It was formed as a requirement of The Municipal Amalgamations Act, which required that municipalities with a population less than 1,000 amalgamate with one or more neighbouring municipalities by 2015.[3] The Government of Manitoba initiated these amalgamations in order for existing municipalities to meet the 1997 minimum population requirement of 1,000 to incorporate a municipality.[4]
