South Fork is an unincorporated community within the Rural Municipality of Arlington No. 79, Saskatchewan, Canada in the Cypress Hills along the course of Swift Current Creek.

History

[edit]

South Fork began in 1913. By 1923 there were three grain elevators, a lumber yard, cafe, blacksmith, pool hall, feed mill, and general store.

A fire in 1928, the depression, and better roads started South Fork on a decline.

The last grain elevator closed in 1974 and moved to a farm south of Dollard.[citation needed]
