Malvina in the Old Days

Named after Malvina Roy, the first schoolteacher from Manchester, the village of Malvina was located in a small, peaceful, and enchanting corner of the country, where bold pioneers, unafraid of loneliness and poverty, managed to clear a few acres of land in order to lay down roads, build their houses and put down roots.

This is how this small village took shape: a general store, a post office, a flour mill, and a cheese factory to meet the needs of the settlers who moved in.
