The Nesbitt School District was established in December 1892 and a schoolhouse operated in Nesbitt in what is now the Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa. It became Nesbitt Consolidated School in 1962 when it was consolidated with several rural schools from the surrounding area, including Minnewawa School No. 372, Riverbank School No. 384, and Bertha School No. 861. It closed in 1968.
