Bangor Saskatchewan Information

Bangor (2016 population: 38) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Fertile Belt No. 183 and Census Division No. 5. _x000D_ Bangor was settled in 1902 by descendants of Welsh families who had migrated to Patagonia in 1860. Conflicts with the Argentine authorities and a flood in 1899 led some 250 to migrate again. At the urging of David Lloyd George and Evan Jenkins, one of their fellow Welsh Patagonians who had migrated to Canada earlier, they moved to Saskatchewan. _x000D_ Bangor incorporated as a village on June 8, 1911. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was going to name the community Basco, but the Welsh settlers convinced them to change it to be named after the community of Bangor in Wales. _x000D_ In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Bangor had a population of 40 living in 11 of its 12 total private dwellings, a change of 5.3% from its 2016 population of 38.
