Geographic Names Of Saskatchewan

Bill Barry’s Geographic Names of Saskatchewan serves as a reference to the origins of the province’s settlements and natural landmarks. Building on the groundwork laid in his earlier People Places volumes, Barry gathers the histories and explanations behind towns, villages, rural post offices, and countless smaller communities. He extends this scope by incorporating the names of rivers, lakes, hills, and other physical features listed in the Gazetteer of Canada: Saskatchewan. The result is a compendium that traces how geography, Indigenous languages, immigration waves, and local stories shaped the naming of Saskatchewan’s human and natural landscape.
