Wauchope, Saskatchewan, Hamlet in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada
Wauchope sits along Saskatchewan Highway 13 between Manor and Redvers, marked by a Catholic church, rectory, and a large cemetery spread across the landscape. The settlement includes a baseball diamond and grain elevator that serve the agricultural activities of the small population living here.
The settlement began in 1901 when the railroad arrived, named after General W. Wauchope during construction of the Arcola railway line. The railroad was the foundation for growth, bringing goods and connecting the place to larger towns.
The community developed as a French-speaking settlement, with residents from France and Belgium joining early, followed by people from Britain, Ontario, and the United States.
The hamlet sits right on Highway 13, making it easy to access from the main road. Visitors should know this is a small, quiet community where most services and amenities are found in larger nearby towns.
A stone cairn stands north of the parish church, recognized as a provincial historic site. This marker honors the memory of this former railroad settlement and its place in the region's development.
