W E Y B U R N

Some people claim Weyburn was named after a railway man who supervised the laying of steel. There are others however, who insist that the City got its name from a Scot. There is a story that on a hot summer's afternoon, an exploring Scot, upon coming across the Souris River, exclaimed "Wee Burn!" and hence, the community became Wee Burn, later changed to Weyburn.
The Post office opened on August 1, 1895.
