But the real influx of settlers and the beginning of the little village known as the Badger, or Old Cartwright, was from 1880 to 1883. The site was about two miles north of the present village of Cartwright and started on two town sites, on the Mr. P. C. McKibbin farm where the school was, and the other on Mr. J. C. Waugh's farm in the valley.
