History

The first settlers arrived to farm in the Central Butte area in 1905, the same year Saskatchewan became a province. In 1906 a store and post office were established. A railway from Moose Jaw made it to the Central Butte area at the end of 1914, meaning the 48-mile-long (77 km) trips to Craik for supplies were no longer necessary. After the railway arrived, a permanent township was chosen and businesses moved in to the area.
