Gnadenthal, a village (pop. 200 in the 1950s) situated about seven miles (12 km) southwest of [[Plum Coulee (Manitoba, Canada)|Plum Coulee]], [[Manitoba (Canada)|Manitoba]], was one of the most progressive of the Mennonite villages west of the Red River, with conveniences such as electrification and telephones. There were two Mennonite churches, one [[General Conference Mennonite Church (GCM)|General Conference Mennonite]] and one [[Mennonite Brethren Church|Mennonite Brethren]], and a two-room public school with qualified Mennonite teachers. The village dated back to 1874-1875, when it was settled by Old Colonists from South [[Russia|Russia]], who vacated the village in 1923-1925 with about 15 other villages in this area, because the Department of Education required the use of the English language in the schools. However, this proved to be a godsend for some of the 21,000 Mennonites who immigrated from South Russia to Canada in 1924, and who took possession of the land and buildings, most of whom became well-to-do farmers. Other villages in the vicinity had their own churches, which also belonged to the [[Blumenort Mennonite Church (Manitoba, Canada)|Blumenort Mennonite Church]] as well.
