Leroy Saskatchewan Information

Leroy is a town in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. _x000D_ From 1905 to 1913 the area now known as LeRoy was a Local Improvement District. In 1913 the Local Improvement District was constituted as the Rural Municipality of Roach #339, as meetings were held at the home of James Roach. In 1914, it became the RM of Ayr #339, containing the Bogend Post Office, established in 1905, and Bogend School in 1907. In August 1919 a Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) blueprint showed the crossing of the proposed rail line to be built through the RM, so planning began for a town in that RM in the same year. The area was named Bogend and on January 21, 1920 it was renamed LeRoy. LeRoy was incorporated as a village on December 5, 1922. In March 1963 proclamation received declaring LeRoy a town. _x000D_ The LeRoy Memorial Arena is home to the Leroy Braves of the Long Lake Hockey League. Leroy also has a curling rink, ball diamonds nearby, and golf at the reginal park, amongst other activities. Four miles south of town is Jansen Lake and to the east are the Quill Lakes. _x000D_ Leroy Leisureland Regional Park (51°59?53?N 104°50?01?W? / ?51.9981°N 104.8337°W? / 51.9981; -104.8337) was founded in 1972 and is located about 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) west of Leroy.
