Abbey
Abbey, with a 2021 population of 122, is a village located in the south-western region of Saskatchewan, Canada, within the Rural Municipality of Miry Creek No. 229 and Census Division No. 8. It lies northwest of Swift Current and is accessible via Highway 32 near Highway 738.
In 1910, the first post office in the area was Longworth, situated in Cassie Baldwin’s home. The townsite of Abbey was initially owned by D.F. Kennedy. In 1913, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) acquired a quarter section of his land to build a rail line. The CPR allowed Kennedy to name the new community, choosing 'Abbey,' after his farm in Ireland. Abbey was officially incorporated as a village on September 2, 1913.
Abbey is home to one municipal heritage property, the Abbey Fire Hall, listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places. Constructed in 1919 following a major fire in 1918, the fire station was an upgrade to the village’s fire protection. It was in use until 1975 and, although no longer operational, its siren still signals emergencies.
The Abbey Golf Club, located approximately 0.5 km (0.31 mi) southeast of the village, was established in 1950. It features a par 35, 9-hole course with sand greens and a total length of 2,085 yards.
