History
The Dominion Land Survey's description of the area around Assiniboia is Sec.18, Twp.8, R.29, W2. It was first settled by people of English, French, Romanian, Scottish, and Scandinavian descent.[2] From 30 March 1908 to 23 November 1912, the post office at this location was named Leeville, Saskatchewan.[3]
The settlement of Assiniboia originated on 12 October 1912, when the Canadian Pacific Railway put 980 lots up for sale at the townsite as it built a branch line through southern Saskatchewan. The community grew rapidly and on 22 December 1912, it was incorporated as a village. In 1913, the population rose from 400 to 1,400, and the community was incorporated as a town. The town's name comes from the former district of Assiniboia, in which the town is located.[4]
During the Great Depression, town officials employed out-of-work men to construct the Assiniboia sewer system. Unfortunately, the town could not afford to operate it until 1948.[2]
The RCAF Station Assiniboia World War II airfield, (now operated as the Assiniboia Airport) is located 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) north of Assiniboia.[5] It was used for elementary flight school training during the World War II years of 1942-1944.[6]
Assiniboia Regional Park
The Assiniboia Regional Park (49.6263°N 105.9905°W) is a regional park that was founded in 1977 and is operated from three locations around the town. There's a 9-hole golf course south of town, Willows Dam east of town, and Centennial Park in town.[7]
The Centennial Park location has a campground with 17 campsites and modern showers and washrooms. Some of the other amenities at the park include an outdoor pool, picnic area, playground, potable water, tennis courts, sani-dump, and ball diamonds.[8]
About eight kilometres east along Highway 13 is Willows Dam, also known as Willows Reservoir.[9] The reservoir has a boat launch for fishing and commonly caught fish include walleye and perch. No motorised boats are allowed on the lake.[10]
The Assiniboia Regional Park Golf Course is a 9-hole course located 3.2 kilometres south of the campground. The course features grass greens, par 72, 5596 total yards, and a licensed club house with food and a proshop.[11][12]
