The Lintrathen School District was established in March 1901 and a one-room wood frame school building was constructed on the southwest quarter of 3-6-6W in the Rural Municipality of Dufferin, on one acre of land donated by Ben Megill. The school closed in 1919 and the districted was consolidated with Graysville School.
