History


The first known name for the area was Third Crossing as this was a third crossing over the Whitemud River. When settlement became significant in 1872 the community was renamed to Palestine. The community was incorporated in 1879 and was renamed a third and final time to Gladstone, after the British Prime Minister of the time William Ewart Gladstone.[1]
