Alexander

The LGD of Alexander, an area comprised of approximately 600 square miles, was incorporated under the "Local Government Districts Act” by Order-in-Council No. 1008/44 on December 28, 1944 and became effective January 1, 1945. At that time, the District was administered by a government-appointed Resident Administrator and supervised by the General Supervisor and staff of the Local Government Districts Branch in Winnipeg. In 1945, there were 21 Local Government Districts in Manitoba, made up mostly of unorganized districts in the eastern and northern parts of the province.
