Abstract:
On the following farm settlements, either founded or joined by Jewish families in the late 19th-early 20th centuries: Moosomin (town; named after a tribal chief); Wapella (town); Hirsch (extinct; named after Baron Hirsch); Lipton (village; named after the British tea merchant Sir Thomas Lipton); Edenbridge (extinct; the name is an Anglicization of Yid'n Bridge); and Sonnenfeld (extinct). Israel Hoffer and his brother were among the five founders of the Sonnenfeld Colony; the present-day hamlet Hoffer is named after their father, Moses. The Hoffer descendants have remained prominent figures in Saskatchewan.
