History

The RM of Enniskillen No. 3 incorporated as a rural municipality on December 13, 1909.[3] Sam McKnight came to the area from Durham County, Ontario, and served as chairman of the organizing committee for the RM. He seemed to have had his heart set on a northern Irish name, since his committee proposed Enniskillen, Derry, Antrim, Boyne, Alma, Fermanagh and Waterloo. The government selected the first name on the list which honours Enniskillen (inis Ceithleann, "Ceithle's island"), the country town of Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
