The first settlers in what was to become Estevan arrived in 1892, along with the expansion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was incorporated as a village in 1899, and later became a town in 1906. On March 1, 1957, Estevan acquired the status of a city, which, in Saskatchewan terms, is any community of 5,000 or more. The name origin is attributed to George Stephen’s Registered Telegraphic Address, Estevan. George Stephen was the first President of the Canadian Pacific Railway from 1881 to 1888. On December 22, 1915, the 152nd (Weyburn-Estevan) Battalion, CEF was authorised and recruited men from the area before departing to Great Britain on October 3, 1916. Estevan was the site of the notorious Estevan Riot in 1931. Although most of the strikers were from nearby Bienfait,
1930 - Train Trestle South of Estevan destroyed by tornado.
the strike is associated with Estevan because it was in this city that the demonstrators were met by members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. After the subsequent riot, which lasted 45 minutes, three strikers lay dead. It was later proven that the three miners had been killed by the RCMP. The miners had been organized by the Workers’ Unity League. ****Visit the Souris Valley Museum to find our more of the culture and history offered in Estevan.****

Tobogganing Feel like a kid again speeding down a snow covered hill and making the long trek back up it. We have a few hills that are known for great tobogganing that many people get use of on beautiful winter days. A well known hill is the “Westview Hill” located on the 1700 block of 1st Street. There is a “ramp” half way down the hill that adds even more distance and speed. The Valley in Pleasantdale area is another great hill. Shorter than Westview but steeper and an easier climb. There are different spots that you can get to the Valley. The north part of Cundall Drive is a good starting place.

Landmarks within the community, Boundary Dam and Shand Power Stations are an integral part of the community. The mammoth size and operations of these marvels can be explored and learned through guided tours. The tours are FREE and provide a great insight into the industry of coal mining. Tours run from June to August from Tuesday through Saturday. Participants have the option of selecting between two tours, depending on their preference on tour specifics and time. The morning tour leaves at 9am from the Visitor Information Centre, and tours Rafferty Dam and the Boundary Dam Mine site.
