Kandahar, Organized hamlet in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada
The community spans across 0.36 square kilometers of land near Big Quill Lake, the largest inland salt water body in Canada.
Canadian Pacific Railway executives named the settlement in the late 19th century to commemorate a British military victory in Afghanistan.
The initial settlers of the Kandahar district came from Iceland or had Icelandic heritage, with many arriving from the Argyle settlement in Manitoba.
The hamlet contains twelve private dwellings, with eight occupied by permanent residents according to recent statistical data.
From 1910 to 1913, the local post office operated under the spelling Candahar before the community received village status.
