The Town of Morris is a prosperous, growing community that
will continue to expand and develop in the future. Morris
is located on Provincial Trunk Highway 75, 30 minutes south
of Winnipeg in the centre of the Red River Valley.
Morris was named after Alexander Morris, the second Lieutenant
Governor of Manitoba. The town has a long and prosperous
pioneer history.
Fur traders initially settled the Morris area in the late
1700's because of its strategic location along the Red River.
By 1801, there were two fur-trading stations at the settlement.
Provisioning barges coming up and down the Red River, as
well as, the Red River Ox Carts traveling between Fort Garry
and the Pembina Settlement offered many opportunities for
trade. By 1869, the ox carts began to carry settlers to
the areas around the Scratching River (now the Morris River)
and the population began to grow. The town was officially
incorporated in 1883.
Morris lies in the middle of the Red River Valley. The shallow
valley spreads for many kilometres to the east and west,
but only rises a few metres at most. The land is remarkably
flat and is some of the best producing agricultural soils
in the world.

Notice:
FYI: For those who aren't already aware, there is a construction
crew paving Station St. S. As a result, there is temporarily
increased truck traffic on Montreal Ave. W, because the
exit route usually taken by trucks based in that corner
of town (Station St. to Hwy 23) is currently closed just
north of their building.
The best guess is another week to two weeks before the crew
is finished the first half of the street, and then Station
will be closed to Montreal while they pave the second half,
at which time no truck traffic will be travelling via Montreal.
Our apologies for any inconvenience. This is temporary,
and is occurring only out of necessity.”
