Grenfell (N.S.W.)

Grenfell (Canada 2016 Census population 1,098.5) is a town in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is at the junction of Highway 47 and the Trans-Canada Highway 1 130 kilometres (80 mi) east of Regina, the provincial capital. It is 24 kilometres (15 mi) south of the Qu'Appelle Valley where Crooked Lake Provincial Park (at Crooked Lake) and Bird's Point Resort (at Round Lake) are popular beach destinations and are accessed by Highway 47. European settlement from Ontario and the British Isles began in 1882 before the Canadian Pacific Railway reached the site of the town, and "the town's name honours Pasco du Pre Grenfell, a railway company official." The post office was established in 1883.
