Rural Municipality of Aberdeen, Regina, SK

On June 24, 1909, a committee submitted a petition to organize 7 full and 3 partial townships. This petition was granted on July 26, 1909. The Municipal Committee named John J. Heinrich of Aberdeen as their representative. The petition was signed by 58 persons. The petition was granted by a vote taken on July 26, 1909. The Rural Municipality was established by the Order of Honourable A.P. McNab, Municipal Commissioner, December 13, 1909. Since then, one township was annexed by the R.M. of Corman Park. During the period of 1915 -1919, considerable road improvements and construction have taken place because of the new popularity of automobiles. Roads still remain the major concerns for the municipality. Today, the R.M. of Aberdeen maintains over 340 miles of road in the summer and over 200 miles of road in the winter. Highways # 41 and # 27 run through the R.M.
The South Eastern border of the R.M. of Aberdeen No. 373 is just five miles east of Saskatoon, the largest city in Saskatchewan, where we have the country residential areas of Strawberry Hills, Strawberry Ridge, Valley View Heights, Cherry Hills Estates, Bergheim Estates, The Meadows, Prairie Rose Estates, and Mission Ridge Estates. The Hamlet of Edenburg lies three miles north east of the Town of Aberdeen which is twenty minutes north east of Saskatoon.
