History

St. Boswells was a railroad town founded in 1918, as a Canadian National Railway point along the line from Moose Jaw to Neidpath, though the surrounding area had been settled at least a decade earlier. Named after Alex Dow's, hometown of St. Boswells, Roxburghshire, Scotland. St. Boswells was chosen as the name for the community's first post office.
