Manitoba Communities: Foxwarren (Unincorporated Village)Link to: A couple of explanations have been offered for the name of this community, established around 1889 as a point on the Canadian Pacific Railway. One is that it commemorates the English estate of William Henry Barneby (1843-1914) who visited his son in Manitoba in the early 1880s and subsequently wrote Life and Labour in the Far, Far West (1884). Another story is that it concatenates Fox, the name of an early settler in this area, and Warren, a term for an animal’s den.
