Creelman Saskatchewan Information

Creelman (2021 population: 103) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the RM of Fillmore No. 96 and Census Division No. 2. The village lies 118 km southeast of the City of Regina, on Highway 33. _x000D_ The Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) constructed a line in a southeasterly direction from Regina. Completed in 1904 the line was soon lined with a series of small communities and post offices. As early as 1903 a townsite was laid out on the line which locals decided to name Hazel. However, officials with the C.P.R. had other ideas and with the railway’s completion they renamed the tiny community Creelman after the company’s solicitor A.R. Creelman (that same year a post office was opened at the site). Gradually Creelman grew to become a thriving centre for the local farmers and would become an important market and social centre for the surrounding farming community. Creelman incorporated as a village on April 6, 1906. _x000D_ In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Creelman had a population of 103 living in 47 of its 62 total private dwellings, a change of -8.8% from its 2016 population of 113.
