A monument, dedicated in 1980, commemorates the early settlers who homesteaded in the Komarno district before the turn of the 20th century. The village of Komarno was founded in 1904 by settlers from Ukraine. In 1907, the first store was opened and the railway began operating. The first school was built in 1909 and, the next year, a Roman Catholic Church opened its doors. A graded road to the community from the south was completed in 1919.
