In the formative years of 1885-86, the fledgling community of Halifax undertook an enduring initiative that would leave its mark on the township for generations.
Along Macrossan Street, a row of trees was planted. This arboreal lineup included eight Mango trees (Mangifera indica), a Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina), and an African Mahogany (Khaya spp.).
This initiative was more than a beautification effort; it was part of a visionary public works program conceived and carried out by six pioneering settlers. These settlers played a pivotal role in fostering economic stability in Halifax —Harald Hoffensetz, August Anderssen, Austin W. Carr, Niels C. Rosendahl, John Alm, and Francis Herron.
