Hoosier, Saskatchewan
Hoosier
Location of Hoosier in Saskatchewan
Hoosier is an unincorporated hamlet in the Rural Municipality of Antelope Park No. 322, Saskatchewan, Canada. The hamlet is approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) north-west of the town of Kindersley at the intersection of Highway 317 and Highway 772.
The Canadian Pacific Railway played a big role in the town's economy when it was completed in 1913, in the early years of Hoosier's history. Due to the closure of a branch line in 1981, the tracks from Dodsland to Hoosier were pulled and the last of the community's grain elevators was demolished, causing Hoosier's population to decline.[1]
