Esterhazy is a town in the southeastern portion of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, located 83 km southeast of Yorkton along Highways 22 and 80. The town is located within the rural municipality of Fertile Belt No. 183.
Esterhazy is reputed to be named for Count Paul Otto d’Esterhazy, an immigrant agent who was christened Johannes Packh, but at age 35 claimed he had “incontrovertible proof” that he was a Hungarian aristocrat of the Esterhazy family. This claim was never recognized by the Esterhazy family, one of the wealthiest families in Hungary.

A year after making his claim, he immigrated to Saskatchewan, south of the current location of the town of Esterhazy, and in 1886 helped settle 35 Hungarian families, founding the colony of Kaposvar, named after the Hungarian city Kaposvar. The colony flourished, and many more immigrants settled the area as the years went by. In 1905 the town of Esterhazy was officially founded.
