Warman is the newest city in Saskatchewan, officially incorporated on October 27, 2012.[4] Warman is surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344.

History

The community of Warman was born when the Canadian Northern Railway (now part of the Canadian National Railway) running from Humboldt to North Battleford intersected with the Canadian Pacific Railway running from Regina to Prince Albert. This took place in the fall of 1904. The Warman railway station was in operation from 1907 until 1942 when it was moved to its current location; the building now serves as a Seniors Drop-in centre.[5]

In 1910, A fire destroyed much of the town, including most of Main Street, which contained much of Warman's businesses and the pool house, reducing Warman's population. For this reason, Main Street became a residential side street as Warman's businesses opted to rebuild along Central Street instead.

The original name of the town was Diamond, because the crossing of the two railroad lines created a diamond shape. Soon the name of the town site was changed to Warman, named after Cy Warman (1855–1914), a journalist who followed and recorded the construction of the Canadian Northern Railway.[6] In 1905, there was a huge influx of settlers so that in 1906, Warman was organized as a village. By 1927, the population had dropped to 148 people so that the village council decided to disorganize and return to hamlet status. For the next 35 years the affairs of the hamlet were handled by the Rural Municipality of Warman, who had their office in Warman.

In the early 1950s Warman began to grow again. By 1961, the population of Warman had reached 659, so it was decided in 1962 to incorporate again as a village. It was incorporated as a town four years later. By 2011, the town grew to a population of 7084. The town council applied for city status in 2012 and it was approved by the provincial government in the summer of that year. Warman officially became a city on October 27, 2012.[4]

Former NHL hockey player Ed Dyck was born in Warman.

Demographics

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Warman had a population of 12,419 living in 4,162 of its 4,313 total private dwellings, a change of 12.7% from its 2016 population of 11,020. With a land area of 13.1 km² (5.1 sq mi), it had a population density of 948.0/km² (2,455.3/sq mi) in 2021.[7]

Education

In Spring 2014, Catholic residents in Warman formed a local Catholic school division which amalgamated with Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools shortly thereafter.[12] It was revealed on June 23, 2015 that the division's new elementary school in Warman will be named Holy Trinity Catholic School and was completed in 2017.[13]

Warman (offiziell City of Warman) ist eine Gemeinde im südlichen Zentrum der kanadischen Provinz Saskatchewan. Die Gemeinde ist eine „urban municipality“ mit dem Status einer Stadt (englisch City) und verfügt, wie alle „urban municipalities“ in der Provinz, über eine eigenständige Verwaltung.[2] Warman gilt seit vielen Jahren als eine der am stärksten wachsende Gemeinden in der Provinz. Das weit überdurchschnittliche Bevölkerungswachstum hält bereits, ähnlich wie im westlich gelegenen Martensville, seit Ende der 1990er Jahre an.
