Edgeley, Saskatchewan

释义

References

Edgeley is a hamlet in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan and formerly, until the rationalisation of operations by the major Canadian grain-buying companies, the location of some half-dozen grain elevators. At the outset of settlement of this part of the Canadian prairies Edgeley was a centre of the Methodist Church of Canada's Qu'Appelle-Edgeley Circuit, later, in 1925, absorbed into the United Church of Canada.^[1]

Listed as a designated place by Statistics Canada, the hamlet had a population of 41 in the Canada 2006 Census.^[2] Formerly it was reached by road west of Highway 35 in the once densely populated Qu'Appelle-Fort Qu'Appelle hinterland as well as by rail; since the opening of Highway 10 from Balgonie to Fort Qu'Appelle and beyond to PTH 5 at the Manitoba border in the early 1960s it has been immediately adjacent to a major throughway and its significance has lapsed.
