The landmark situated in the St. Jean Baptiste Park records the numerous names of pioneers and pilgrims to Morinville.

Once arranged in the city at 100 Avenue and 100 Street, the landmark was moved to its present area in 2000, as it was a security danger and exceptionally hard to appreciate with all the activity at the convergence. The primary mail station opened in 1894. The Roman Catholic Church of the St. Jean Baptiste Parish was worked in 1907. The congregation, alongside its neighboring yet now out of commission religious circle Morinville Convent, was proclaimed an authentic site in 1975.

In 2005, the grounds of the congregation were arranged with a clock tower, new grass, trees and bushes, in festivity of Alberta's 100th commemoration as a territory. Morinville has a long history of effective business adventures as one of the main areas in Western Canada to open a Royal Bank of Canada in 1910 and a credit association in 1940. A progression of effective worldwide business adventures incorporate Champion Pet Foods that fares far and wide.
