In the 1900s the Hamlet of Gunn (named after Peter Gunn, Liberal Member of the Legislature for Lac Ste Anne from 1909 - 1917) was also developing as a major trade center, consisting mainly of Metis and Indian people. The Post office opened on July 15, 1915. There were two flour mills, a blacksmith shop, the hotel, several stores and trading posts that nestled beside the train station. In the 1930s an Army training center was built where the Gunn housing center now operates. Prosperity reigned until the Army left and the Canadian National Railway removed its rail station.
