Meyronne is a special service area in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
History
[edit]Known history of the Wood Mountain area goes back to the trek by the NWMP in 1874 and the founding of the Wood Mountain Post that same year. Land in the area was opened for homesteading in 1908. When the railway went through in 1913, the settlement moved to its present site.[6]
It was reorganised from a village into a special service area on September 5, 2006.
