RM of Antelope Park’s story
The Rural Municipality of Antelope Park No. 322 incorporated on December 11, 1911. It sits along the Alberta border in west-central Saskatchewan, and it takes its name from the pronghorn antelope, which was once a common sight on the prairie here.
Rail came to the area with the Boundary Branch of the Canadian National Railway, which served Hoosier, Greene, Loverna and other points along its line, including Smiley, Coleville and Driver. The branch was abandoned in 1981. Loverna, one of the RM's communities, was dissolved as a village on March 10, 2003. Today the RM includes the localities of Court, Fusilier, Hoosier and Loverna, and its office is in Marengo.
Visitors can see the Buffalo Rubbing Stone Provincial Historic Site near Flaxcombe, the Great Wall of Saskatchewan near Smiley, and the Hoosier United Church in Hoosier.
