The village of Kisbey is located on Sec. It derived its name from a pioneer of the same name, Richard Claude Kisbey. It was the coming of the railroad that established Kisbey as a hamlet. In 1900 the Canadian Pacific Railroad came as far west as Arcola, but it was later, in 1904, before steel was laid through Kisbey. The steam locomotives which began to pass through always stopped at Kisbey for water.
Water continues to be an asset to the village.
Kisbey received a chemical fire engine in 1912, and another in 1950. In 1908 the village tendered three street lamps. In 1928, the Montreal Engineering Company contracted to install 12 electric lights. The first sidewalks were of wood and were laid in the business section of the village. In 1924, tenders were invited for the construction of 6650 square feet of cement sidewalks.
