Marsden

Marsden is a village in the Rural Municipality of Manitou Lake No. 442 in Saskatchewan, located east of Wells Lake and northwest of Manitou Lake. The community is served by a local office on Centre Street that handles administrative matters for residents.

The village was officially founded on April 24, 1931 and named after Marsden in West Yorkshire, England, where the first postmaster's wife came from. This connection to Britain shaped the origins of the settlement.

The village draws hunters and nature observers in fall who come to watch bird migrations. This seasonal activity shapes life in the community during that time of year.

The village is located in a farming region with good access for visitors wanting to explore the rural landscape. The proximity to Wells Lake and Manitou Lake offers additional opportunities for outdoor activities in the surrounding area.

In 2008 the Buzzard Coulee meteorite fell near the village and attracted scientists who studied the astronomical event. This meteorite remains one of the most notable occurrences in the area's history.
