Edinburg
is centrally located in Walsh County, governed by home-rule charter,
and has a population of 250-275 people with well-kept homes and
attractive yards.
The city park was
established in 1910 by the Civic League. It covers an entire
block along the highway and is beautifully groomed with attractive
trees, shrubs, and flowerbeds. A museum, bandstand, and ample
playground equipment make for ideal family gatherings, picnics, and
celebrations.
Edinburg Fire
Department is one of the best in the area with equipment including one
big pumper, a 4-wheel drive pick-up with pumper, a 2500 gallon tanker
truck with a turrent and another tanker truck with 1500 gallon
capacity. The department stems from the Edinburg Fire Company
which was organized in 1909 and has grown in membership, territory and
especially in up-to-date fire-fighting equipment.
In
the mid 1800's ox carts laden with furs traveled along the west edge
of Edinburg on their way from Winnipeg to St. Paul when it became
necessary to avoid the muddy trails near the Red River. Today
large semi-trucks and railroad cars transport potatoes, cattle, wheat,
and other grains grown in abundance by the farmers in our mainly
agricultural area.
Edinburg
is a GREAT place to live.
