Weyburn is a city in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located on the Souris River 110 kilometres (68 mi) southeast of the provincial capital of Regina and is 70 kilometer (43 mi) north of the border with the United States. The name is reputedly a corruption of the Scottish “wee burn,” referring to a small creek. The city is surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Weyburn No. 67. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) reached the future site of Weyburn from Brandon, Manitoba in 1892 and the Soo Line from North Portal on the US border in 1893.
A post office opened in 1895 and a land office in 1899 in anticipation of the land rush which soon ensued. Weyburn was legally constituted a village in 1900, a town in 1903 and as a city in 1913. Weyburn had since become an important railroad town in Saskatchewan – the Pasqua branch or the Souris, Arcola, Weyburn, Regina CPR branch; Portal Section on the CPR / Soo Line; Moose Jaw, Weyburn, Shaunavon, Lethbridge CPR section; the Brandon, Marfield, Carlyle, Lampman, Radville, Willow Bunch section of the Canadian National Railway (CNR); and the Regina, Weyburn, Radville, Estevan, Northgate CNR section have all run through Weyburn.
