Robsart, Saskatchewan

Robsart previously incorporated an independent village since 1912 until it was dissolved into an unincorporated community on January 1, 2002 under the jurisdiction of the rural municipality of Reno No.

Prior to January 1, 2002, Robsart was incorporated as a village, and was dissolved into an unincorporated community under the jurisdiction of the Rural Municipality of Reno on that date.

[6] In 1910, Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) purchased a quarter section of land in the southwest region of Saskatchewan and called it Robsart.

In the 1980s, locals and nearby farmers rallied together and renovated the old community hall in hopes of reviving the once thriving town, but one by one most remaining businesses and homes were boarded up, including Robsart's Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Pioneer elevators which were demolished in 2000.

Finally on January 1, 2002, due to dwindling population, the village of Robsart was dissolved, and is now governed by the RM of Reno No.

[7] Former mayor and resident Archie Smiley submitted a revised version of an old poem called "Ode to Robsart".
