Area Information
Mortlach is located 40km west of Moosejaw on Hwy 1. Within a couple of years of the Canadian Pacific Railway coming through the Mortlach area in 1882, Ranching operations began to develop.
George Stephen chose the name Mortlach in Saskatchewan. He emigrated to Canada when he was 21 years old from Scotland. He was the first president of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1880 and he named a few communities from his Scottish Roots along the track. In 1906 Mortlach was incorporated as a village, and in 1913 the community attained town status. Then in 1916 the community had a peak population of 456, but in the decades following, Mortlach’s numbers steadily declined, falling to 218 by 1951. The 1930s had been particularly hard on the community, and on January 1st 1949 Mortlach reverted to village status. Village of Mortlach
