Assiniboia is a town in south central Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located 110 kilometres (68 mi) south-southwest of Moose Jaw beside Highway 2 and Highway 13. The settlement of Assiniboia originated on October 12, 1912, when the Canadian Pacific Railway put 980 lots up for sale at the townsite as it built a branch line through southern Saskatchewan.
The community grew rapidly and on December 22, 1912, it was incorporated as a village. In 1913, the population rose from 400 to 1,400, and the community was incorporated as a town. The town’s name comes from the former district of Assiniboia, in which the town is located. During the Great Depression, town officials employed out-of-work men to construct the Assiniboia’s sewer system. Unfortunately, the town could not afford to operate it until 1948.
