Anerley is a small hamlet in the western region of Saskatchewan located about 4km north of Highway 44, about 20km southwest of the Outlook and is about 125km south west of Saskatoon.

History

Anerley before the railway was a well established community, but when the Canadian Pacific Railway laid down tracks from Saskatoon, the post office and Anerley School district were skidded into the town site by a large steam-powered tractor. During the move sparks from the tractor started a small prairie fire, that was soon put out by the townsfolk. [Saskatchewan ghost towns http://www.ourroots.ca/e/page.aspx?id=3601111]

In 1912 the Canadian Pacific Railway brought in lines from Saskatoon, soon after two or three grain elevators were built.

Notable People

William Higgitt (November 10, 1917 – April 2, 1989) was the 15th Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Commissioner (October 1 1969 – December 28 1973; succeeding Malcolm Lindsay) and President of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) (1972 - 1976; succeeding Paul Dickopf).
