Gordon is an unincorporated community in Manitoba, Canada, within the Rural Municipality of Rosser. The community is centred on PTH 6, approximately 3.5km (02.2miles) north-west of Winnipeg and 9.5km (05.9miles) south-east of Grosse Isle. It is named for James Gordon, who was in charge of leases in the General Manager's Office of the Canadian National Railway.[2]
The railway point on the CNR Oak Point subdivision, operated by the Canadian National Railway, was established in 1905. In 1928, a grain elevator was built by Manitoba Pool Elevators. It was closed in 1988 and demolished the next year.[3] A post office was opened in 1929, but it was closed in 1952.
