Area information
The Town of Kerrobert is located at the junction of Highways #21, #31 and #51 in the West Central region of Saskatchewan. It is approximately 65 km east of the Saskatchewan/Alberta border and 180 km west of Saskatoon. The Town of Kerrobert started as the Village of Hartsberg about 1906. The following year a land rush into the district began in anticipation of the arrival of the Canadian Pacific railway line. In 1910 the Outlook-Macklin branch line appeared in Hartsberg and during September of that year the first sales of town lots began. The Village became a Town in 1911 and was re-named Kerrobert and like many towns along the railway, it’s name is derived from an early C.P. railroad executive, Robert Kerr . Town of Kerrobert
