until a log school was built kitty-corner from the church in 1914. On May 15, 1913, a post office was established in Thomas
Metcalf's home across the road east of the school on Section 33, township 70, range 10, west of the 6th meridian. This was the center of the community until 1917, when the school was moved two miles west to the intersection of ranges 10 and 11, and townships 70 and 71. This was where the community grew, with the addition of Funnell's Store, the District Nurse's Cottage, and Frank Keasis’ blacksmith shop in 1922. About the same time, a cemetery was laid out a half mile south of the church. In 1924, the Orangemen's Hall was built across the road from the school, and in 1938 a Curling Rink beside the hall. During the 1930s the residents created a Sports Ground two miles south on the banks of the Red Willow River. The community also boasted a tennis court, a Literary Society, and Funnell's Orchestra. After 45 years of operation, the school closed in 1957, but the building was retained as a hall operated by the Halcourt Ladies Club. The post office closed in 1962. (4) Today, the historic church and school, as well as the active cemetery mark are within the hamlet.
