History[]

Many early settlers to Alvena were of Ukrainian descent. Many were peasant serf farmers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[1] Others were from Poland and they erected Roman Catholic Churches in the area.[2] Earlier settlers along the South Saskatchewan River were Métis.[3] Many of these families were involved in the April 24, 1885 Battle of Fish Creek which occurred in Tourond's Coulee, a few miles west of what later became Alvena.[4] Alvena incorporated as a village on July 1, 1936.[5]
