Weyburn

Wee burn on the Souris

Weyburn in brief

Weyburn sits on the Souris River southeast of Regina, about 70 km north of the North Dakota line. Locals say the name twists the Scottish wee burn, a small creek, which fits a prairie town that grew up thirsty for rail water and farm trade.

The CPR arrived from Brandon in 1892 and the Soo Line from North Portal in 1893. A post office opened in 1895, village status in 1900, town in 1903, and city in 1913. Grain elevators and later oilfield services kept the Soo Line hub busy long after the land rush cooled.
