A Bit of Delisle History

The area was homesteaded in the early 1900s along the old Bone Trail, and the townsite took shape when the Canadian Northern Railway arrived in 1908. The community is named for the DeLisle family, who homesteaded nearby, and Delisle became a town in 1913. The opening of a potash mine to the north in 1969 gave the local economy a major boost.
