A Look Back in Time
Raboin had a small post office that opened in 1911. It helped people send and receive letters and packages. This post office stayed open for about 25 years. It closed down in 1936.
In its early days, Raboin was a busy little place. It had a general store where people could buy supplies. There was also a school for the children to learn. A special train track, called a spur track, connected Raboin to the Great Northern Railway. This track helped transport goods and people to and from the community.
