Togo, Saskatchewan

Togo, Saskatchewan

Togo is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Togo is located 0.5 miles west of the Manitoba border and approximately 45 miles northeast of Yorkton.

In 1906 the Russo-Japanese war was raging and two names stood out, Admiral Togo of the Japanese fleet and General Makaroff of Russia. In 1906 Pelly Siding was incorporated as a village and renamed Togo after the Japanese admiral, and the next town to the east on the CNR line (5 miels) was named Makaroff (Manitoba) in honour of the Russian general.

Despite the small population, Togo still maintains a post office,Lutheran church,credit union, curling/skating rink, drop in centre, and small hotel with bar.Besides farming locals enjoy some of the best fishing in the country (see: Lake of the Prairies) and of course, hockey!
