Sutherland Industrial is an industrial subdivision located in east-central Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. As of 2006, the area is home to a mere ten residents. Sutherland Industrial was originally part of Sutherland, a town outside of Saskatoon before being annexed by the city in 1956. The subdivision also contains the first urban reserve in Saskatchewan, the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation.[1][2]

[edit] History
The Sutherland Industrial area was built up when the Canadian Pacific Railway branch line between Regina and Edmonton reached Saskatoon in 1907.[3] The CPR yards and station were constructed three miles east of Saskatoon.[4] A settlement grew adjacent to the rail yards, and was incorporated as the village of Sutherland August 30, 1909.[5] It was named after William Charles Sutherland, a politician who served on Saskatoon's town council before it became a city in 1906.
In 1956, the town was annexed by the growing city of Saskatoon. Sutherland became the city's easternmost neighbourhood until development in the 1970s took place even further east.[6] The amalgamation required some name changes to Sutherland's streets, to avoid confusion with identically-named streets already in Saskatoon (e.g. 6th Street became 110th Street).[7] At some point after annexation, the neighbourhood boundaries were redrawn. The mainly residential portion of the former town became the neighbourhood of Sutherland, while the rail yards and associated industrial lands were split off as the Sutherland Industrial subdivision.
In 1988, the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation settled a land claim which created western Canada's first urban reserve. Title to 35 acres of land in the southeast part of Sutherland Industrial was transferred to the band. Under an agreement with the City of Saskatoon, the band does not pay civic taxes, but collects its own levy and pays the city for services. The development of the reserve is also in accordance with laws of Saskatchewan and the bylaws of Saskatoon.[8]
