Emo was settled in the early 1880s under the Rainy River Free Grants and Homesteads Act. Emo&#8217;s short name was devised by the Irish pioneer Alex Luttrel, who, noting the lack of formal education in most of his fellow settlers, proposed the town take the easy-to-spell name of a village in Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Settlers and travelers reached Emo by taking the Canadian Pacific Railway to Rat Portage and then a steamboat across the Lake of the Woods and up the Rainy River. Du Vernet followed much of this route, traveling by train to Rat Portage but instead taking a steamboat to Little Forks, east of Emo, and then canoeing westward to the town. In 1901, just two years after Du Vernet&#8217;s visit, the Canadian Northern Railway reached the town. Providing year-round transportation for settlers and freight, the railway enabled more settlers and goods to come to region more\u00a0quickly and in greater numbers than the steamboat or the canoe.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Emo remains a small town in the Rainy River District.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emo From the Little Forks Reserve, Du Vernet canoed west to Emo, a town along the northern side of the Rainy River.
