Bender Hamlet, Manitoba

Bender Hamlet, Manitoba was a Baron Maurice de Hirsch sponsored Jewish farm colony in the Rural Municipality of Armstrong, part of the Interlake region in the province of Manitoba.

In 1912 the now defunct Canadian Northern Railway arrived 2 km west of the hamlet.

The last of the hamlet's settlers left in November 1926, effectively ending the colony.

A Manitoba Heritage Council commemorative plaque was installed at the site of the former Bender Hamlet in 1987.
