| 1901 | 670 |
| 1911 | 633 |
| 1921 | 606 |
Cross-year identity established by spatial polygon overlap (SAME_AS chains across the Canadian Census Subdivision boundary files).
Boundary continuity (non-identical overlaps)
Spatial polygon overlaps with adjacent census years where the boundary shifted enough that the SAME_AS chain didn't merge them. These show where the territory came from and went to even when it isn't tracked as the same persistent place.
Earlier boundary forms
- In an earlier year, this CSD was contained in Casey, Hilliard, Brethour, Ingram & part Harris, 1901 (10.3% share).
Later boundary forms
- In a later year, this CSD contained Harris, 1921 (92.9% of this CSD's polygon).
