City Map with Features
Eastend, Saskatchewan is located in the middle of nowhere and miles from the nearest city. Unlike most prairie towns that were formed in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Eastend did not get its name from being located along the rail line. In 1879 the NWMP established a post on the same site as the Hudson Bay Trading Post and part of the Metis village. This was the most easterly detachment from the newly built Fort Walsh. The small detachment at the east end post was to watch over the ever growing number of Sioux who had fled from the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Thats is how a town on the western side of Saskatchewan received the name EASTEND. In 1914 the CPR laid the track into the ranching community that had began to form near the NWMP detachment. Eastend was incorporated as a village on March 30, 1914 and as a town on May 1, 1920.
