Humboldt: A Chronological History (Continued)

At a meeting of the ratepayers of Humboldt held October 1, 1906 it was agreed to seek elevation of the community to town status.

On December 6, 1906, Overseer J.W. Lowes forwarded a petition to the Lieutenant Governor asking that the Village be incorporated as a town. The population was given as 425 at this time.

On February 28, 1907 a proclamation was issued by the Lieutenant Governor declaring that "from and after the 1st day of April, 1907, the Village of Humboldt be erected into a town municipality".
