Area Information
- Location:
Boissevain is near the North Dakota border.
- Work began along the anticipated route of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1874, surveyors were impressed with the Turtle Mountain region. The site of the town of Boissevain was decided by the CPR in 1885.
- The new settlement was named in honour of a Dutch financier, Adolf Boissevain, who introduced CPR shares for sale in Europe.
- Boissevain's prosperity came with the railway, in this case the CPR line in 1885. Three other additional railways in the area, including the Great Northern Railway through the railway's subsidiary organized under the name of the "Brandon, Saskatchewan and Hudson Bay Railway". Wikipedia
