Unlike many major North American urbanized areas, yet similarly to other prairie centers in Canada, Saskatoon has absorbed numerous neighbouring communities in its history. In the past, when the city limits reached the borders of neighbouring municipalities, such as Sutherland and Nutana, they were simply annexed into Saskatoon's jurisdiction. The vast majority of the region's inhabitants reside within the City of Saskatoon, which now has a population in excess of 270,000.[2]
