St. Walburg is a town of 800 people located in west-central Saskatchewan. It is located in the prairie region of Saskatchewan. 10 kilometers to the north is the Bronson Provincial Forest. It is located on Saskatchewan Highway 26. St. Walburg located in the Rural Municipality of Frenchman Butte #501. The main economies are grain and some cattle farming. The oil and natural gas industries are become increasingly important in the area. There is a large number of businesses in the town as the town enjoys a fairly large amount of economic prosperity.
The town and surrounding area was originally settled mostly by German settlers who settled the area between the 1910's and 1930's as well as a few Polish, Ukrainian and French settlers later on. The Canadian Northern Railway continued its branch line from Turtleford to St. Walburg in 1919 which caused a boom in the area. Many homesteaders arrived within months. A sad note for the community was when the Canadian National Railway abandoned its rail line from North Battleford to St. Walburg in 2005 when the remaining grain elevators on the line closed. The line was officially abandoned in 2008.
