''For the rural municipality of the same name; see: Rural Municipality of Eriksdale.'' Eriksdale is an unincorporated community located in the Interlake Region of central Manitoba, Canada, near the eastern shore of Lake Manitoba. The community is located on the crossroads of Highway 6 and Highway 68, approximately north of Winnipeg. It is part of the surrounding Rural Municipality of Eriksdale. == History == The first white settlers in the area now known as Eriksdale, were from Sweden and began arriving in 1905. They mostly arrived via Oak Point, which was the end of the rail line at the time. Homesteaders Ben and Minerva Laird provided a stop off eating place known as Lairdsville after 1908. The community was named Eriksdale after the Jonas Erikson family who had owned land where Eriksdale was built. Homesteaders were promised good land and cheap prices, they instead found largely stony marshy land that was difficult to farm. Those who stayed adapted and the land had plenty of game, fowl, fish, berries, good water, and wood for shelter and warmth. Entrepreneurs saw the opportunity for development of business to serve the homesteaders and soon roads were built along with schools and churches. The R.M. of Eriksdale was formed in 1918. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eriksdale, Manitoba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
