[edit] History
The community originated in the early 20th century as a service point on the Hudson Bay Railway. Although the railway's presence in Wabowden has diminished over time, it continues to serve the community by transporting freight and passengers.
Wabowden's name is derived from that of a one-time railway executive, W.A. Bowden.
