History


The earliest settlers came to this area around 1884 as the area became known for its rich agricultural soil and ample land for pastures. The area was settled by German pioneers. The town was originally spelled Strassburg, Strass meaning road or street in German and burg meaning castle. The name was changed by Canada's Geography department to the French spelling of Strasbourg in 1919, following the renaming of Strasbourg, Alsace, France (Germany lost control of the city after World War I). The town was incorporated in 1907.


Parks and recreation


The Strasbourg Recreation Centre,[4] which was built in 1976, has an ice rink and a curling rink. It is home to the Strasbourg Maroons of the senior men's Highway Hockey League.[5] Strasbourg also has a 9-hole golf course[6] and ball diamonds.

Twenty-five kilometres to the south-west of town on Last Mountain Lake is Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park and to the north-east is Last Mountain.
