Topic: Saskatchewan Place


  
  Melville, Saskatchewan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to What's in a Name?: the Story Behind Saskatchewan Place Names by E. Russell, the city was named for Charles Melville Hays, who at the time of the settlement's initial construction was then president of the Grand Trunk Railway and Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.
Since Melville's founding, it has served as a nexus for railroad activity, currently including that of Canadian National Railway and VIA Rail, the latter for which Melville effectively serves as the main rail/bus connection to Regina for its passengers.
Currently Saskatchewan's smallest city, its population actually falls well below the 5,000 threshold required for city status in the province (and has so for several years), but at present its political status remains unchanged.
