The Years Gull Lake Became a Town: 1911–1912
A Short History Story Some years leave only faint traces in history. For Gull Lake, 1911 was nearly one of those years, but change was quietly gathering. The records from that year are sparse: routine business, familiar local names, and just two notable decisions—the first grading of Proton Avenue , then the town’s emerging main thoroughfare, and the purchase of a hose cart.

How Two Hitchhikers and a Gull Lake Constable Averted Highway Tragedy
