The community takes its name from the hills of the area, once heavily treed with birches that were used for the manufacture of birch bark canoes during the fur trade era of the 1700s. Situated in an area settled primarily by Norwegian , British and Anglo-Metis peoples, Birch Hills became a village in 1907 and reached town status in 1960 . Unlike many other agriculturally based towns it continues to grow due to its position as a satellite community of Prince Albert. EXTERNAL LINKS |
