Maybe that's part of the problem then. Brandon had nothing to aspire to from the beginning. If it had started out as the Town of Brandon, then it could have aspired to become that 100 K city much earlier and it'd maybe have gotten there by now.

Prior to the railway coming through, there was a couple farms. After the railroad was completed through Brandon, the population exploded. In 1881, it was just a tent city basically, then on May 30, 1882 it was incorporated as a city. In about a year it went from nothing to a city.

Why is a 100,000 such a magical number? Many move here because of it's current size. We can get from one side of the city to the other in about 10 min, no big city crime, no big city problems.

Go Wheat Kings Go!!!
