History :SEBEKA, a city in Red Eye and Rockwood Townships,
beside the Redeye River, founded in 1891, was named, like Menahga, by
Col. William Crooks, chief engineer of the Manitoba (now Great Northern)
Railway. Like Menahga, this is a name of Ojibwe derivation, from sibi or
zibi, "a river," meaning "the village or town beside the river." The
city was incorporated as a village on April 30, 1898; the post office
was established in 1891 in postmaster John Anderson's store. Logging was
the first major industry; the city was developed when the Great Northern
Railway came in 1892, mostly by Finnish immigrants.
