1904 was a banner year for the booming Town of Red Deer. The population surged as large numbers of new settlers poured into the district. New houses and new businesses sprang up. Six major utilities and public services commenced in the community – a hospital, court house, fire department, waterworks, local telephone service and electric lights.
One of the strongest booms in Red Deer’s history took place in the years leading up to the First World War. One of the key people in that boom was Stan Carscallen.
One of Red Deer’s first residents and one of its most prominent early businessmen and community builders was Robert C. Brumpton.
