Fox Valley’s history

Fox Valley sits just off Highway 21 in southwest Saskatchewan, about 64 kilometres north of Maple Creek and 51 kilometres south of Leader. The village lies within the Rural Municipality of Fox Valley No. 171.

The early settlers of the village and the surrounding area included many Germans from Russia, mainly from the Beresan region near Odessa. Fox Valley incorporated as a village on August 30, 1928.

Today the local economy depends heavily on agriculture and natural gas. The village has a swimming pool, an arena and a curling rink, and Fox Valley School, which teaches students from kindergarten through Grade 12 as part of the Chinook School Division, fields the Fox Valley Legends.
