With the advent of motor vehicle transportation and better highways, several small communities started to disappear. The days of trail and horse and buggy necessitated travel between centers which were established approximately 6 miles apart, which is no longer required. The amenities of larger centers have given rise to a lower rural population, and a higher urban population in the province.
