Marengo is a village in west central Saskatchewan, Canada, about {{convert|45|km|0|abbr=on}} west of Kindersley. It is located within the Sun West School Division. HistoryIn 1910, the village was incorporated under the name Melbourne, which was probably a preliminary name given by the Canadian Northern Railway. However, the post office was given the name Marengo in 1911, named after Marengo, Illinois, the hometown of pioneer J. Ray Goodrich. Later in 1911, it was changed to Fuller after a manager of a ranch, because the post office would not allow "Melbourne". After three years, they changed it back to Marengo.[1] In recent years, certain legends such as Parker Sullivan have been born in Marengo. But as in most towns there are some drawbacks to living such as the constant threat of Cotton Candy Randy See alsoReferences1. ^{{cite book|last1=Barry|first1=Bill|title=Geographic Names of Saskatchewan|date=September 2005|publisher=People Places Publishing, Ltd.|location=Regina, Saskatchewan|isbn=1-897010-19-2|p=272}} External links
