[edit]Saskatchewan History & Folklore Society Inc.
Town of Forward NW 12-8-19 W2M Established 1911
In 1913 an entire town moved to this site, the junction of the Canadian Pacific-Canadian National rails. Visions of thriving commerce inspired the move of businesses and homes from the original location 4.8 km north east.
Forward, population near 1200, flourished. Town services: A lumber yard, notary public, printing-publishing shop, post office, implement agency, jail, school, church, firehall, drugstore, cafe, blacksmith, & livery barn.
Forward gradually declined. Structures were not rebuilt after fires. It lacked a grain elevator and other towns growing along the railway provided competition. The last house was removed from the site in 1966.
Erected 1995 in honour of our pioneers.
