Hussar, Alberta : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hussar, Alberta Hussar is a village in southern Alberta, Canada within Wheatland County. It is located on Highway 561, approximately east of Calgary and south of Drumheller. == History == Hussar was unofficially founded in 1913 when the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) established a station and named it Hussar. A community grew up around the station and was incorporated as a village in 1928. The name Hussar for the station was used in honour of a group of German soldiers who belonged to a German Hussar (cavalry) regiment who earlier had established a large farm near Hussar. With the start of World War I most of the soldiers returned to Germany and those who remained were interned for the duration of the war. The land, which was part of this German Canadian Farming Co. Ltd., was purchased after the war. Following the war, the community, both the village and the surrounding area, began to grow with an influx of settlers from around the world. English, Irish, Scots and Danes made up the bulk of the settlers. Many of those settlers' descendants still reside in or around the community.〔The Hussar Heritage, ISBN 0-9698525-0-9, by The Hussar Historical Society Book Committee - 1994, Page 19 - 25〕
