Decker is an unincorporated community in southwestern Manitoba, Canada. It is located approximately 17 kilometers (10 miles) northwest of Hamiota, Manitoba[2] in the Hamiota Municipality.
The community formed around the Decker family homestead. They arrived there in 1881 and the Post Office opened for the area in 1884 as Arrowton, named for the nearby Arrow River. In 1912 the Post Office was moved to the Decker homestead on 18-15-24W. Nowadays, there is almost nothing left, save for a church, 3 houses and a few old unused shops.
