History & geography

History

Seba Beach started as a couple of cabins in 1906, but during the 1920s when the railway passed by it became more accessible and the population grew. Seba Beach got its name from one of the sons of Cush in the Old Testament. Early Seba Beach featured a hotel, bakery, post office, dance hall, a church (the building which the current museum is in), mink farm, and Twig's Inn, which served as both an inn and a gas station. Commercial ice fishing occurred during the winter months, and during the summer many different festivals and events were held which drew in large numbers from Edmonton.
