By the year 1897, the Icelanders and their other neighbors were quite comfortably settled when a group of Ruthenians from the Austrian provinces of Bukovina and Galicia started arriving by rail between 1897–1898 at Saltcoats.
Government agents escorted the new settlers to quarter sections of land where they homesteaded within a five to ten mile radius of the present site of Calder.
Additional Romanian immigrants from Bucovina continued to homestead remaining sections south of Calder between 1899–1905.
