Was named in 1904 after the noted English animal painter, Sir Edwin Henry Landseer.

Although there is no longer any visible sign of the “prairie giants”, the Ogilvie and Manitoba Pool elevators, Landseer was once a major grain shipping point, serving a large trading area in all directions.

Permanent recognition of the location of this community of yesteryear was made by the dedication of a cairn on October 28/00.
