Alticane[1] is an unincorporated community in the Rural Municipality of Douglas No.
Alticane was established in 1928 on the new Canadian National Railway branch line that ran between Speers and Mayfair.
In that year, the area post office, run by Mr. McKye, was moved from its previous location 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) south-west to the new location near the branch line, bringing the post office's name to the new town.
[2] The town contained a Saskatchewan Pool grain elevator which has since been dismantled.
Alticane is now considered a ghost town with approximately one dozen abandoned houses remaining.
