Maymont, Saskatchewan


Maymont is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Mayfield No. 406 and Census Division No. 16. It is 90 kilometres northwest of the City of Saskatoon.
The plaque at the entrance to the town says that the Village of Maymont was named for May Montgomery. She was a niece to William Mackenzie. Miss Montgomery had asked her uncle to name the village Montgomery, but he said he couldn't because a town in Manitoba already had that name. So, he took her first name and the first syllable of her last name and combined them to form the name, Maymont.
Like many, many other towns in Saskatchewan along the railway line in the early 1900s, Maymont had a grain elevator. Today, Maymont is one of the few towns in Saskatchewan that still has a grain elevator.
