History

The first settlers arrived to farm in the Central Butte area in 1905, the same year Saskatchewan became a province. In 1906 a store and post office were established. A railway from Moose Jaw made it to the Central Butte area at the end of 1914, meaning the 48-mile long trips to Craik for supplies were no longer necessary. After the railway arrived, a permanent township was chosen and businesses in the area were moved in.

Education

Central Butte has one school that covers Kindergarten through grade 12 in the Prairie South School Division No. 210. Enrollment for 2006 was about 300.
