Archerwill Saskatchewan Information

Archerwill (2021 population: 153) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Barrier Valley No. 397 and Census Division No. 14. The village is approximately 55 km (30 mi) north of Wadena, 52 km (30 mi) south of Tisdale and 70 km (40 mi) southeast of the City of Melfort. Since 1981 Archerwill has been the administrative centre of the RM of Barrier Valley. _x000D_ The community is named, in a syllabic abbreviation, after the secretary-treasurer and two councilors of the executive governing council of the RM of Barrier Valley in 1924. They were: Archie Campbell and Ervie Hanson, councilors; and William Pierce, secretary-treasurer. Archerwill incorporated as a village on January 1, 1947. _x000D_ Archerwill is located on the Wadena-to-Tisdale branch line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. However, the nearly 55-year-old railway station was torn down in the early 1980s; and the nearly 60-year-old Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and UGG elevators were torn down in the 1990s. _x000D_ The Archerwill Café (probably built in the late 1920s), most recently operating as Diner Thirty Five, burned down in a fire on June 23, 2016.
