History

James Powe and his family arrived in Saskatoon from Ontario in 1884. The Powe family homesteaded in the area which is now Sutherland in 1893. Their grand house, which stands on the present-day corner of Central Avenue and 115th Street, was built between 1912 and 1914. The foundation was made from local fieldstone, making the basement walls as thick as convert|24|in|mm.cite web

In 1956, the town was annexed by the growing city of Saskatoon. Sutherland became the city's easternmost neighbourhood until development in the 1970s took place even further east.Resources] The amalgamation required some name changes to Sutherland's streets, to avoid confusion with identically-named streets already in Saskatoon (e.g. 6th Street became 110th Street).

In 1960, a new one-storey Sutherland School was opened beside the 1913 school. By 1963, additional classrooms and an auditorium were added. The "castle" school also received some cosmetic upgrades in 1960-61, but the building had fallen into disrepair. The weakened structure was condemned in July 1967 and demolished the next month. The 1912 cornerstone was the only item preserved.School]

In 2006, workers digging out fuel tanks at the Mac's convenience store on 108th Street and Central Avenue unearthed human remains. Investigators determined that it was a woman who had been murdered sometime between 1910 and 1920 and thrown down a well. Her body had been preserved in a mixture of gasoline and water, enabling forensic archeologists to extract a DNA sample. The crime is still unsolved, and as yet, no living descendants of the woman have been found. [cite web

Commercial

Since Sutherland's founding, almost all commercial activity has been located on its main street, Central Avenue. The vast majority of businesses are found between 108th and 115th Streets. Technically, all businesses located on the east side of Central Avenue actually lie within the Sutherland Industrial subdivision, but most locals do not make this distinction. There is also a major greenhouse located within Sutherland, on the corner of Central Avenue and Attridge Drive. 61 home-based business exist in the area.Profile]

Newer commercial development in the nearby University Heights Suburban Centre neighbourhood and Preston Crossing big-box complex have recently caused a dramatic increase in Sutherland's commercial vacancy rate. In 2007, Saskatoon's city council held off further commercial development in the northeast, to halt a further decline in the business district. [cite web
