VASSAR,
MANITOBA
HISTORY
Vassar's first inhabitants settled in 1896 with railroad's
arrival. It is commonly believed that Vassar got its name after the first
born son of the Carpenter family.
The first store, post office, and school were all built in the
early 1900's. A hotel was built in the late 1920's and parts of that building
are incorporated into the current motel.
Vassar is home to the offices of the
Rural Municipality
of Piney, and its population once swelled to 1000 while logging was at its peak
just before the Depression. Lumber and firewood businesses still thrive.
Vassar is a very sports minded community and baseball continues
to be a favorite form of recreation. The spacious ball grounds testify to
this fact.
A campground, 18 hole mini golf course, and a solar heated
public swimming pool which offers swimming lessons during the summer months can
all be found in the town.
The Vassar Chamber of Commerce
extends a warm welcome to all guests.
