History Edit

Springs of pure water along the old Dakota trail attracted settlers to make the present site of Springside, a main stopping place on their trek farther west. The CP railway line was laid parallel with this trail and the siding was named Patrick in honour of the Yorkton district pioneer doctor, T. A. Patrick. The first settlers in the vicinity of the village were from the British Isles or from Ontario, also of British extraction. To the north east of Springside, Ukrainians homesteaded and to the northwest, German-speaking peoples made homes on their claims. By 1903 the railway was under construction and a post office was being considered for the newly incorporated village however another community in the territory was already named Patrick so it was decided that the name should be changed. The presence of the springs beside the trail prompted the residents to petition the Post Master General to call the post office Springside. F. H. Willis was appointed post master that summer and received the first batch of mail on July 1, 1904. The Saskatchewan government declared Springside a village in 1909. During the Great Depression the Yellowhead Highway was built linking Springside to nearby Yorkton through the efforts of A. C. Stewart, Minister of Highways and Member for Yorkton. As a result, many businesses and services began to close down as people travelled to Yorkton to shop.[1] In 1985, Springside officially became a town.
