The railroad branch line running through the Mennonite towns of Dalmeny, Menno, Hepburn, Waldheim, and Laird was built in 1908 and it was during this year that Hepburn had its beginning. The population in 1955 was about 300. Since most of the early settlers were of Mennonite Brethren background, the town had only one church, with a membership of about 275 in 1955.
