[edit] History
Haultain post office was established at Section 36, Township 34, Range 5, West of the 3rd Meridian and opened in 1916, closing in 1917. The first post master was Thomas Waters.[3]
When Haultain School was first constructed, it was on the outskirts of the City of Saskatoon. Many residential homes had no running water hook up. Water was delivered by water truck and residents could purchase pails of water. The school provided Monday morning baths in the school basement. Several early homes of the city still had outhouses on the outskirts until plumbing was established.[4]
Milk was delivered by milk wagon and horse until the mid 1960's.
[edit] Toponymy
The neighbourhood and original school name honoured the Honourable Sir Frederick William Alpin Gordon Haultain K.B., November 25, 1857 - January 30, 1942. Sir Frederick W. A. G. Haultain, Chief Justice of Saskatchewan, was instrumental in the establishment of the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta from the North West Territories. The executive council of the North West Territories gained leadership from their president, Sir Frederick W. A. G. Haultain from 1897 to 1905; which in essence made him the first 'premier'. The title of the head of government or de facto chief executive was labelled "premier" on Oct. 8, 1897 As Commissioner of Education, he also spent time and energy developing the early school system on the rugged frontier. He was the son of Lieutenant-Colonel F.W. Haultain, Royal Artillery.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
J.S. Wood Library is named after James Stewart Wood, Saskatoon's Chief Librarian in 1938.[11]
