The R.M. of Browning No. 34 was incorporated as a rural municipality in 1912.  Records from then indicate that there were 360 resident farmers and a population of 1800 within the R.M.  As of the 2011 Census, the population was 400.

The R.M. of Browning No. 34 is 18 miles by 18 miles and consists of nine townships: 4-4, 4-5, 4-6, 5-4, 5-5, 5-6, 6-4, 6-5, 6-6, all west of the second meridian.  The rural municipality surrounds the Town of Lampman, and also has the hamlets of Willmar and Steelman within it’s boundaries.  Browning is primarily an agriculture based municipality, with an extensive commercial assessment due to the oilfield and oil related businesses operating within the R.M. of Browning and the Town of Lampman.  In 2002, the R.M. of Browning No 34 and Town of Lampman amalgamated administration of both municipalities into one joint office.

After many successful years of this merger and with a heavy heart, the R.M. of Browning and Town of Lampman decided to discontinue their association as a joint office in 2023 and separated independently once more. In 2024, the R.M. of Browning relocated the office to 102 Minard Road, 2 doors south of the R.M. Shop.

Regular Council meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at the office located at 215 Main Street, Lampman.  The 215 Main Street office was built in 1968, with an addition and renovations completed in 2011. The New Office at 102 Minard Road was purchased in 2023, and after a few renovations were established, the R.M. proceeded to the move in May of 2024.

The old R.M. maintenance shop was built in 1971 on NE 9-5-6 W2.  As the needs of the municipality increased, so did the size and amount of equipment.  A new municipal maintenance shop was constructed on the west side of Lampman in the Minard Industrial subdivision in 2012/2013.  The shop grand opening was held in          July, 2013.
