HISTORY
The Saskatoon area has been inhabited for some 6,000 years; however,
it was not until the summer of 1883 that the first settlers began
to arrive and subsequently in 1903 that the town charter was obtained.
"Saskatoon" is derived from 'mis-sask-quah-toomina', the
Cree Indian name for a local indigenous berry.
