History

The Dalmeny district was first settled around 1900; many of the early settlers were Mennonites. The town site developed in 1904–1905 with the arrival of the Canadian National Railways Carlton branch line and the Winnipeg - Edmonton Main Line. A year later, the post office opened, the first grain elevator was built, and a general store was established.

The village's population growth was slow until the 1970s, when it became known as a bedroom community for people working in Saskatoon. The population grew from 417 to 1964 between 1971 and 1981. In 1983, the village was incorporated as a town.[2]

The town's original hockey arena which was built in the early 1950s was replaced in 2003 with a state of the art new one
