Rio Grande Store and Post Office

In 1920 Ewen MacDonell became the Rio Grande postmaster, and in 1921 he and Alex MacIntosh opened the first Rio Grande Store and Post Office. Supplies for the store were hauled by horse and wagon from Grande Prairie, 43 miles away. The supply trip took four days, two there and two back. Ewen and Alex also built two houses and a barn beside the store.
