History

The Doukhobor settlement of Vosnesinia, on the Swan River north-east of Arran, in the early 1900s.

The area around Arran was part of the "North Reserve", also known as "Thunder Hill Reserve", one of the block settlement areas allocated for the Doukhobor immigrants who arrived here in 1899 from Russia's Transcaucasian provinces. [1]
