Maymont Saskatchewan Information

Maymont (2016 population: 138) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Mayfield No. 406 and Census Division No. 16. It is 90 kilometres (56 mi) north-west of the city of Saskatoon. _x000D_ The village of Maymont was named for May Montgomery. She was a niece to William Mackenzie (of Mackenzie and Mann, railway construction contractors, who built the Canadian Northern Railway through the area in 1905). Montgomery had asked her uncle to name the village Montgomery, but he said he could not because a town in Manitoba already had that name. So, he took her first name and the first syllable of her last name and combined them to form the name Maymont. _x000D_ Like many other communities in Saskatchewan along the railway line in the early 1900s, Maymont had a grain elevator. Today, Maymont is one of the few towns in Saskatchewan that still has a grain elevator. _x000D_ Maymont incorporated as a village on June 24, 1907. _x000D_ In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Maymont had a population of 163 living in 73 of its 78 total private dwellings, a change of 18.1% from its 2016 population of 138.
