History & geography
History
Prior to permanent settlement, the area of current-day Killarney-Turtle Mountain was well known by fur traders, explorers, and Indigenous peoples who lived and trapped along the northern edge of the Turtle Mountains. Land surveyor and homesteader John Sydney O’Brien named the adjoining lake "Killarney" after the Irish town and Lakes of Killarney, because the landscape reminded him of home. He is said to have poured a bottle of "Good Irish" into the lake and christened it.On August 15, 1882, the Rural Municipality of Turtle Mountain was incorporated. In 1885, the railway came through and by the following decade the population grew to 300 people. On December 1, 1903, Killarney was incorporated as a village, breaking away from the RM of Turtle Mountain. On June 4, 1907, the village was officially incorporated into the Town of Killarney.
