History
Anerley before the railway was a well established community, but when the Canadian Pacific Railway laid down tracks from Saskatoon, the post office and Anerley School district were skidded into the town site by a large steam-powered tractor. During the move sparks from the tractor started a small prairie fire, that was soon put out by the townsfolk.[5]
In 1912 the Canadian Pacific Railway brought in lines from Saskatoon, soon after two or three grain elevators were built.
Notable people
William Higgitt (November 10, 1917 – April 2, 1989) was the 15th Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Commissioner (October 1, 1969 – December 28, 1973; succeeding Malcolm Lindsay) and President of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) (1972–1976; succeeding Paul Dickopf).
