Settled as early as the 19th century, it was incorporated in 1964 as a village—a status it lost upon amalgamating with the Municipality of McCreary on 1 January 2015.
McCreary covers an area of 1.70 km2, and has a population of 472. As the self-proclaimed "Ski Capital of Manitoba," the former village previously held significance as the closest settlement to the former Mount Agassiz Ski Area.
