Cymric is an unincorporated community in the Rural Municipality of Last Mountain Valley No.

[3] The Neu Elsass (New Alsace) Colony was established in 1884 by D.W. Riedl, a German immigration agent from Winnipeg.

Neu Elsass began when twenty-two families homesteaded near Strasbourg.

The original area of Neu Elsass Colony was the region around the central and southern portion of Last Mountain Lake and included Strasbourg, Duval, Bulyea, Earl Grey, Gibbs, Silton, Dilke, Holdfast, Penzance, and Liberty.

The Cymric Presbyterian Church held its first service on December 17, 1916, with Reverend J.C. Madill presiding.
