Horizon, located on the south side of Channel Lake, is a hamlet in Bengough Rural Municipality No.

Prior to December 31, 1973, Horizon was incorporated as a village, and was restructured as a hamlet under the jurisdiction of the Rural municipality of Bengough on that date.

[3] The very first business was a general store and post office, owned by Herbert Stanbridge in a building moved in from Moreland, Saskatchewan.

An annual event called Achievement Days was held where participants showed off their horse racing and jumping skills.

Altar Society was formed in 1928 but was later dissolved and the Viceroy - Horizon Catholic Women's League took its place.

[2] In homesteading days, the Yellowgrass Trail ran through Horizon, taking horse and wagon traffic further west.

The first train station in Horizon was made out of a rail box car before a dedicated building was moved in from Forward, Saskatchewan.

Three years later, a group of local farmers formed the Red Coat Road and Rail and purchased part of the branch line and a number of elevators, consisting of about 115 km of track between Pangman and Assiniboia.

Since then, the Great Western Railway has been contracted to operate the line on behalf of the Red Coat Road & Rail.

The elevator was purchased by the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool in 1972 who operated it until 1996 when the CPR branch line was abandoned.

Over the years, Horizon was the site of several natural disasters, including: The novel A Garden in the Wind (1975) by Gabrielle Roy and the film based on it, Where Will You Go Sam Lee Wong?, are set in the town.
