This unincorporated community was renamed back to its original name of Maskwacis (meaning Bear Hill in Cree) as of January 1, 2014.

It had been called Hobbema since 1891, when the president of the Canadian Pacific Railway named a flag station after Meindert Hobbema, a 17th century Dutch landscape painter.
