Lloydminster
One city, two provinces
Lloydminster in brief
Lloydminster is the border party trick of the Prairies: one city, one city hall, and a main street that is also the Alberta-Saskatchewan line. Barr Colonists from Britain founded it in 1903 as a sober utopian settlement on the Fourth Meridian of the Dominion Land Survey.
They named it for Anglican priest George Lloyd, who took charge after a messy ocean-to-prairie trek under Isaac Barr. When the provinces were created in 1905, the meridian became the border and bisected the town. Residents asked to sit wholly in Saskatchewan and lost, so Meridian Avenue still hosts two provincial flags and one shared downtown.
