Sale and Subdivision

Since 1945 almost all of the land which formed the original Westgarthtown settlement has been sold and subdivided for residential use. During the late 1940s and 1950s Graff’s, Siebel’s and Winter’s land was built upon; in the early 1960s Nebel’s farm was subdivided; then in 1967 progress crossed Edgar’s Creek with the sale of Wuchatsch’s and Kreitling’s land. Finally, in 1972, the Ziebell and former Grutzner properties were sold and soon subdivided. The only Westgarthtown land which now remains intact is the Lutheran church and cemetery reserve.
