Bateman, Saskatchewan

Bateman is a locality in the southwest region of Saskatchewan, Canada, 26 km (16 mi) north of the Red Coat Trail.

Upon arrival in 1908, Jim Bateman took possession of a quarter section of land on the banks of Notukeu Creek (a tributary of Wood River).

His daughter Lydia was sworn in as the post mistress and drove up to St. Boswells, 10 km (6.2 mi) northwest of Bateman, with her father to pick up the community's first mail bag.

The community once boasted four grain elevators, a bank, a theatre, restaurants, two gas stations, two churches, three grocery stores, skating and curling rink, and two implement businesses.

Today the once impressive brick school has been demolished due to the building's poor condition.
