Maymont is a small village in the Rural Municipality of Mayfield No. 406 in Saskatchewan with a population of around 160 residents spread across a compact area. The settlement sits in the flat prairie landscape and serves as part of the rural network across the province.
The village was established in 1907 when the Canadian Northern Railway extended its tracks through the area, creating a vital link for agriculture and trade. The railway shaped the community from the start, bringing economic activity and growth to this remote region.
The name comes from May Montgomery, a family member of William Mackenzie who was instrumental in bringing railways across Saskatchewan. This naming reflects the deep connection between the village and the railway development that shaped the region.
The village sits about 90 kilometers northwest of Saskatoon and is easily accessible through Highway 16 and Highway 376. The location on a major transportation corridor makes it convenient for visitors exploring rural Saskatchewan.
The village preserves one of the few remaining grain elevators in Saskatchewan, serving as a visible reminder of the region's agricultural past. This structure stands as evidence of the era when grain production and storage were central to rural community life.
