Leroy, Saskatchewan

From 1905 to 1913 the area, now known as LeRoy, was a Local Improvement District. In 1913 the Local Improvement District was constituted as the Rural Municipality of Roach #339, as meetings were held at the home of James Roach. In 1914, it became the RM of Ayr #339, containing the Bogend Post Office, established in 1905, and Bogend School in 1907. In August 1919 a C.P.R. blueprint showed the crossing of the proposed rail line to be built through the RM, so planning began for a town in that RM in the same year. The area was named Bogend and on January 21, 1920 it was renamed LeRoy. LeRoy was incorporated as a village on December 5, 1922. In March 1963 proclamation received declaring LeRoy a town. [5].[6]
