Birmingham, Saskatchewan
Birmingham
Birmingham is an unincorporated community in Saskatchewan.
History
The community was an incorporated village from 1908 to 1918 and had a post office from 1908 to 1970. It was originally settled by people from England, but they either moved on or returned to England to fight the Great War. They were replaced largely by Ukrainians.
J. D. Strumbert suggested it be named after his home town, Birmingham, England.[1]
