Stoughton Saskatchewan Information

Stoughton is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada. In 2011 it had a population of 649. Stoughton was originally called New Hope. The tiny settlement of New Hope was barely three years old when the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) arrived in this part of the province in 1904. The CPR chose a location a little to the south for its closest depot, which it called Stoughton. The community of New Hope soon moved to join it. _x000D_ Stoughton used to have its own small police service, which was aptly named the Stoughton Police Service. It no longer exists and now the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) provide policing services to the town and surrounding areas. _x000D_ Stoughton is approximately eighty-eight miles southeast of Regina at the terminus for highway 33, which is the longest straight road in Canada, and the fifth longest in the world. It is also the administrative headquarters of the Ocean Man First Nations band government. They contain three nations which are Assiniboine, Saulteaux, and Cree. _x000D_ The town is served by Highway 13, Highway 33, and Highway 47. _x000D_ In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Stoughton had a population of 652 living in 314 of its 378 total private dwellings, a change of 0.5% from its 2016 population of 649.
