The Making of a Community 

Within the first five years of arrival in the new land, these immigrant people had set about to meet their basic survival needs.  They arrived with little money but they were full of hope.  They found that they could pick up work with the railroad companies and earn enough cash to both survive and to start their new lives as frontier farmers.  After five years most had moved out of the railroad camps and were settling into making a place to call home. 

Now they had neighbors!  People like themselves.  People joined in a common effort  to make good in their new land.  People who they could trust.  People who were willing to lend a hand when the need was there.  People with whom they could join in the making of a community.  Their own community.  It didn't have a name but it was their place!
