History


Known history of the Wood Mountain area goes back to the trek by the NWMP in 1874 and the founding of the Wood Mountain Post that same year. Land in the area was opened for homesteading in 1908. When the railway went through in 1913, the settlement moved to its present site.[6]

It was reorganised from a village into a special service area on September 5, 2006.

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Meyronne had a population of 20 living in 9 of its 13 total private dwellings, a change of -42.9% from its 2016 population of 35. With a land area of 0.41 km2 (0.16 sq mi), it had a population density of 48.8/km2 (126.3/sq mi) in 2021.[7]


Infrastructure


Saskatchewan Transportation Company provides intercity bus service to Meyronne.

[8] For the most part of its history, Meyronne was a dead end town full of in-bred, country rubes, but with the discovery sludge oil in 1956 there was a boom to the town raising the population from 38 to 67 in the following years.

Sludge oil was the only lubricant that could stand up to the rigorous needs of the newly invented Drill-Do, but with the advent of synthetic lubricants and battery operated pleasure devices that lasted longer before overheating, did not release toxic fumes and cut the death rate from pleasure devices in 1964 from 12,567(all attributed to the Drill-Do) to 3, the need for Sludge oil dwindled. To this day the entire sludge oil industry and the Drill-Do Company by extension, have been kept afloat by a single private entity located in the Millrise neighborhood of Calgary, Alberta.
