Middlebro is the most eastern community in Manitoba. In the early 1900’s, the town was called Gravel Pit. The name derived from the fact that the Canadian National Railway was using the area for storing gravel to construct the railway. No one can say for sure when the name changed from Gravel Pit to Middlebro.  Annual community events include Poker Derby in February, a Fall Supper in October and a New Year’s Eve Pot Luck Supper and Dance.
