Central Butte


Central Butte is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada, approximately from Saskatoon, Regina and Swift Current and from Moose Jaw.
Thunder Creek, a river that flows into Moose Jaw, begins south of the community. The town is served by the Central Butte Airport.

History

The first settlers arrived to farm in the Central Butte area in 1905, the same year Saskatchewan became a province. In 1906 a store and post office were established. A railway from Moose Jaw made it to the Central Butte area at the end of 1914, meaning the trips to Craik for supplies were no longer necessary. After the railway arrived, a permanent township was chosen and businesses in the area were moved in.
