The Rural Municipality of Odanah is a former rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was originally incorporated as a rural municipality on December 22, 1883.[1] Its name comes from the Ojibwe word Oodena meaning a "village", a "community". It ceased on January 1, 2015 as a result of its provincially mandated amalgamation with the RM of Minto to form the Rural Municipality of Minto – Odanah.[2]
