History
Allan was incorporated as a village on June 9, 1910, though the first homesteaders first started arriving in 1903. It was incorporated as a town in 1965.
The town of Allan renamed the hockey rink in the Allan & District Communiplex to the Logan Schatz Memorial Rink in 2019.[1] This was done in remembrance to Logan Schatz, the Humboldt Broncos captain who was from Allan and died in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.[1] Schatz is remembered as a natural leader, a good skater, and will be forever remembered by Allan and its surrounding communities.[1]
