from the West, looking East
Hirsch was Created by Jewish Settlers
as a primarily Jewish Colony,
supported by the
Baron Maurice de Hirsch Institute,
and the Jewish Colonization Association.
It is named after it's founder
Baron Maurice Hirsch
First Jewish colony established by
the Jewish Colonization Assoc.
During the 1930's
most of the
Jewish Families
left the area, and moved to Winnipeg.
It is ironic, that today
this
is very productive land,
for Grain, and also for Oil production
from the 1960's until today.
