Shellbrook
Shellbrook is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada, located about 44.5 kilometers (27.7 miles) west of Prince Albert. In 2011, the town's population was 1,433. It is accessible via Highways 3, 40, and 55, and is home to approximately 50 businesses offering various goods, services, and professional expertise.
Settlers began arriving in the Shellbrook area in the late 19th century, with a post office established in 1894, named after the nearby Shell Brook. The early 20th century saw a larger influx of settlers, primarily of British and Scandinavian descent. The Canadian Northern Railway reached Shellbrook from Prince Albert in 1910, helping the town grow as a service hub for the surrounding agricultural region.
The Shell Brook, now known as the Shell River, flows just north of the town, eastward to the Sturgeon River, which then empties into the North Saskatchewan River west of Prince Albert. Shellbrook is located near the northern edge of agricultural settlement, in a transition zone between the aspen parkland and boreal forest biomes. Early settlers cleared the land of jack pine forests to make way for crops, and the logs were rafted to Prince Albert, where many were used to produce railway ties.
According to the 2021 Census by Statistics Canada, Shellbrook had a population of 1,510, living in 674 of its 710 private dwellings. This marks a 4.6% increase from its 2016 population of 1,444. The town covers a land area of 3.93 square kilometers (1.52 square miles), resulting in a population density of 384.2 people per square kilometer (995.1/sq mi).
