FIRST WAVE OF SETTLERS The area that is now part of Lamont County was first surveyed in 1883, before settlers arrived, and while the Beaverhill area was a hunter’s paradise. The first settler in the Beaverhill Lake region was an Englishman, Frank W.W. Fane, who after having served eight years in the Northwest Mounted Police, took a homestead in 1887. He brought cattle and horses from southern Alberta, and while farming, maintained a post office and a general store that served a wide area, with people coming 15 or 20 miles distance on foot for supplies. Mr. Fane was the first councilor in the Local Improvement District of Beaver, was the first Conservative candidate in 1905, and held various positions as magistrate, doctor, dentist, and lawyer. His son was Major Frank Fane, a WWI era solder, and a former Member of Parliament for the Vegreville district from 1958-1968. Other settlers soon followed: Peter McCallum and the Deby’s (1891), the Steel brothers, the McAllisters (1895), and the Watsons, Stewarts, and Wilsons (1898). At the same time, in 1888, German farmers migrated into the Bruderheim area, selecting the richest land in the region; by 1896 their number had reached 150. Polish people settled near St. Michael in 1898, later to move onward throughout the region. SECOND WAVE OF SETTLERS In 1891 a new era began when the first Ukrainian immigrants to Canada, Ivan Pylypow and Wasyl Eleniak, landed at Montreal. They first traveled by train to Winnipeg and worked briefly for a German farmer at Gretna Manitoba, helping to thresh. Having fallen in love with Canada and the opportunities it provided, Ivan returned home at the beginning of winter, while Wasyl stayed behind and continued to work at Gretna, eventually returning for his family in December 1893. Both Ivan and Wasyl told family and friends of the vast amounts of rich land available in Canada before returning with their families. People came in large numbers from Galicia and Bukovyna to settle this part of Alberta, with the first permanent settlers having homesteads near Edna, now known as Star. By 1914 the Ukrainian bloc settlement in east central Alberta was spread over a territory of 2500 square miles, and by 1930 over 50,000 people of Ukrainian decent lived in this region, making it the largest settlement of Ukrainians outside of Ukraine. Ivan Pylypow and his family settled north of Lamont, near Star; he died in 1936 at the age of 77. Wasyl Eleniak, along with his brother Peter, settled in the Chipman area. Peter settled two years before his brother, while Wasyl continued to work on farms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan before settling in 1898. Wasyl farmed and raised a large family, passing in 1956 at the of 97. Cradle of Ukrainian Settlement in Canada On September 11, 2018, Lamont County Council proclaimed Lamont County to be the "Cradle of Ukrainian Settlement in Canada" in recognition of the first permanent Ukrainian settlers in Canada homesteading in Lamont
