Information About

Southbranch Settlement




The Settlements stretched along both sides of the South Saskatchewan River in River Lot style from Fish Creek, Saskatchewan north through Batoche and St. Laurent, Saskatchewan to St. Louis, Saskatchewan which was its northern boundary. They were in close proximity to several Cree reserves, as well as settler and Anglo-Metis settlements to the north around Prince Albert, Saskatchewan .

The Northwest Rebellion of 1885 was a traumatic event for all the Southbranch communities, and they had passed their prime by the 1890s when the railway brought in hoards of new immigrant settlers. Some of the settlements, such as St. Louis, Saskatchewan still remain however.
