Hatton, also known as Forres, is an unincorporated community in Maple Creek Rural Municipality No.
Not much is left of the once prosperous town of 800 citizens, but an old pioneer cemetery and schoolhouse that is now a private residence.
Hatton, like so many smaller communities throughout Saskatchewan, has struggled to maintain a sturdy population causing it to become a complete ghost town.
The Great Depression years and the bypass of the Trans Canada Highway caused a decline in Hatton's population, causing the town's status to return to village status.
[5] Hatton no longer has a school, but those who live in or around Hatton are sent to the neighboring town of Maple Creek which has a school that covers Kindergarten to Grade 12 serving approximately 400 students.
