History
Herschel was founded by German Canadians and settled mainly by Mennonites. The village was named in honour of 19th Century English physicist and astronomer Sir John Fredrick William Herschel.[9]
In 1935, a major fire destroyed 18 homes and businesses in Herschel. The blaze destroyed three general stores, the post office, a harness shop, the drug store, a pool hall, the Royal Hotel, a Chinese laundry, a hardware store, the municipal office, a restaurant, homes and other structures. Poor local roads were blamed for the extent of the blaze, with fire engines from Rosetown unable to reach the community for more than four hours.[10]
In 2005, fossils of a plesiosaur were discovered in a coal mine ravine southwest of Herschel, and now, along with native petroglyphs attracts visitors from around the world. The fossils were described as a new species, Dolichorhynchops herschelensis.[11]
The Vancouver backpack manufacturer Herschel Supply Co. named itself after the place, the birthplace of ancestors of its founders, in 2009.[12]
