Description From Owner:
- Settled by Scots around 1773 but not named until near the end of the Crimean War (1853–56). In 1855 the Allied armies of Britain, France and Turkey landed in the Crimea and defeated the Russians in the Battle of Alma River.
- This community was named in honour of that event. A school opened in 1811 and a postal way office was established in 1855. In 1884 an iron bridge across Middle River was completed.
