Hoosier, Saskatchewan
Hoosier
Hoosier is an unincorporated hamlet in Antelope Park Rural Municipality No. 322, Saskatchewan, Canada. The hamlet is approximately 40 km 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 towns economy when it was completed in 1913 in the early years of Hoosier's history. Due to the closure of branch line in 1981 the tracks from Dodsland to Hoosier were pulled and the last of the communities grain elevators was demolished causing Hoosier's population to decline.[1]
