Gull Lake itself began with one good idea. In 1905, Conrad and Price surveyed a patch of prairie and believed a town could rise here. A few years later, an $83 well, a handshake loan, and a handful of determined neighbours turned that idea into a community.

The year 1915 began without the need for a municipal election. R. Shingler continued as mayor, and the council consisted of D. Dewar, F.W. Busse, Gus Henderson, J.S. Tweed, A.H. Thomas, and E.G. Shilling. A Change in Law Enforcement At the first council meeting in January, James Baxter, who had served as town constable for several years, was relieved of his duties.
