Hadashville, Manitoba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hadashville is a small town located in Eastern Manitoba, Canada. It is located on Highway 11, 2 miles north of the Trans-Canada Highway. Hadashville is located in the Whitemouth River watershed north of the Sandilands Provincial Forest. It is located in the Rural Municipality of Reynolds, has sandy soil, many farm lands, and is surrounded by the boreal forest. This Whitemouth River area is very close to the western edge of the Canadian Shield, and just north of the United States border.

The first settlements near Hadashville are believed to have been established about 1904. At that time the settlers around Hadashville would receive supplies from the nearest railway station near Whitemouth. The hamlet of Hadashville is named after Charles Hadash. Charles Hadash moved his family to the area after learning that a railway for the Greater Winnipeg Water District's (GWWD) Shoal Lake Aqueduct was planned. Charles Hadash established the first post office in Hadashville along with a small store, pool room, and dance hall.
