History
The municipality was incorporated on January 1, 2015, via the amalgamation of the former Rural Municipality of Rossburn and the town of Rossburn. 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. The Government of Manitoba initiated these amalgamations in order for existing municipalities to meet the 1997 minimum population requirement of 1,000 to incorporate a municipality.
