Creelman, Saskatchewan

Creelman (2021 population: 103) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the RM of Fillmore No.

The village lies 118 km southeast of the city of Regina, on Highway 33.

The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) constructed a line in a southeasterly direction from Regina.

As early as 1903 a townsite was laid out on the line which locals decided to name Hazel.

However, officials with the CPR had other ideas and with the railway's completion they renamed the tiny community Creelman after the company's solicitor A.R.
