History


Further information: Rural Municipality of Bifrost and Riverton, Manitoba

The municipality was incorporated on January 1, 2015 via the amalgamation of the RM of Bifrost and the Village of Riverton.[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.[2] The Government of Manitoba initiated these amalgamations in order for municipalities to meet the 1997 minimum population requirement of 1,000 to incorporate a municipality.[3] The amalgamation did not include Town of Arborg which is surrounded by Bifrost – Riverton.

The municipality includes numerous manufacturing companies including Vidir Solutions, Romafa Metal Works, and Diemo Machine.
