Situated immediately north of the mouth of the Battle River, North Battleford and the greater Battlefords area are a notable stop along the Yellowhead Highway, part of the Trans-Canada system, and serve as a commercial and cultural hub for west- and north-central Saskatchewan. Together, the Battlefords are served by the Yellowhead Highway as well as Highway 4, Highway 26, Highway 29, and Highway 40.
Battlefords Provincial Park[5] is 40 kilometres (25 mi) north on Highway 4.
History
edit
For thousands of years prior to European settlement, succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples lived in the area. The Battlefords area (including the present city of North Battleford and town of Battleford) was home to several historic indigenous groups, including the Algonquian-speaking Cree and Blackfeet as well as Siouan Assiniboine First Nation band governments, who contested for control of local resources.
Early European settlement began as a result of fur trading by French colonists in the late 18th century. The Canadians founded Fort Montaigne d'Aigle (Eagle Hills Fort) [6] nine miles below the confluence of the Saskatchewan and Battle Rivers in 1778.[7] A year later the fort was abandoned following conflict between traders and natives.[citation needed]
Permanent European settlement in the area centred around the town of Battleford, founded 1875 and located on the south side of the North Saskatchewan River. Battleford served as capital of the North-West Territories between 1876 and 1883.[8]
In 1905, the construction of the Canadian Northern Railway main line to Edmonton placed the line on the north side of the North Saskatchewan River. North Battleford, built along the railway line, was incorporated as a village in 1906, as a town in 1907, and as a city (with a population of 5,000) in 1913.[9]
The Assyrians were one of the first settlers of the area in and around North Battleford. The immigrant colony comprised 36 men and a few women from the town of Urmia in northwestern Persia. It was established in 1903 by Dr. Isaac Adams, an Assyrian Presbyterian missionary. In 1907, 40 more settlers arrived. Eventually, due to economic hardships, Dr. Isaac Adams and a few close relatives emigrated to Turlock, California. The descendants of the families who remained in North Battleford have names that are Assyrian in origin. Examples of Assyrian family names include Bakus, Essau, George and Odishaw.[10][11]
Population growth stagnated until the 1940s and then grew to approximately 10,000 by the 1960s. The city has grown into an administrative centre and service hub for the economic, education, health and social needs of the region.[citation needed]
North Battleford used STV-PR in its city elections from 1920 to 1924.[12]
The Latter Rain Revival, a Christian movement, started here in 1946–48.[13]
Historic sites
editA number of heritage buildings are located within the city. The North Battleford Public Library was built in 1916 with a $15,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation of New York.[14] and the Canadian National Railways Station was built in 1956.[15]

Crime rate
editIn 2018, Maclean's ranked North Battleford as Canada's most dangerous place for overall crime.[27] The prior year, Maclean's published an article about this, Canada's most dangerous place, North Battleford, is fighting for its future, discussing the safety initiatives planned by the community.[28]
After the article was published, Mayor Ryan Bater said:
The reality is we require the provincial and federal levels of government to take notice of this and align their efforts with ours. This needs to be a partnership. This can't be something the governments do in silos and we need to be working together. If we can do that, then sometime in the future we can see some great results.[29]
City Manager Jim Puffalt added that the per person index may not be accurate because the population data does not consider the numerous transients, estimated at just over 14,000. In his view, the city has roughly 30,000 people at any time. "If you put our rates over 30,000 people we wouldn't be number one [in the Maclean's study]," he said.[29]
In 2023, the City of North Battleford earned its highest position on the Crime Severity Index (CSI) since 1998,[30] with the city challenging the dubious 'Crime Town' moniker.[31]

Attractions
edit
North Battleford is the home of one of four branches of the Saskatchewan Western Development Museum. This branch focuses on the agricultural history of Saskatchewan, including a pioneer village.[38] A prominent feature is the former Saskatchewan Wheat Pool grain elevator No. 889 from Keatley, Saskatchewan. The grain elevator was moved to the museum grounds in 1983.[39]
The city also has the Allen Sapp Gallery, featuring the noted Cree painter.
Sports and recreation
edit
The North Battleford Access Communications Centre,[40] a 2,500-seat multi-purpose arena, is home to the Battlefords North Stars ice hockey team of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.[41] It is also home to the North Battleford Kinsmen Indoor Rodeo, held annually in April.
The InnovationPlex (formerly North Battleford CUplex),[42][43] which opened in 2013, includes the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts,[44] the Northland Power Curling Centre,[45] the NationsWest Field House,[46] and the Battlefords CO-OP Aquatic Centre.[47]
Infrastructure
editIn 2001, a problem with the city's water system led to the infection of approximately 6,280 people with cryptosporidiosis; a lawsuit seeking several million dollars in damages was filed in 2003.[48] Between 5,800 and 7,100 people suffered from diarrheal illness, and 1,907 cases of cryptosporidiosis were confirmed. Equipment failures at the city's antiquated water filtration plant following maintenance were found to have caused the outbreak.[49] The provincial and municipal government offered compensation to victims[50] after the lawsuit was approved in 2017.[51]
The North Battleford Energy Centre, a natural gas-fired power station owned by Northland Power, has been operational since 2013.
Transportation
editNorth Battleford is served by the North Battleford Airport, while the North Battleford/Hamlin Airport is no longer in use. The city also recently added a public transit system, in addition to the book-as-needed "Handi-bus" for people with disabilities.
Local media
editNewspaper
editBattlefordsNOW.com is an online local news site focusing on what's happening "right NOW" in the Battlefords and surrounding area.[citation needed]
The local newspaper is the Battlefords' News-Optimist.[52] It is published weekly on Thursdays and has circulation in the surrounding area.
Feed The Artist Magazine[53] is a local non-profit periodical print and online publication that features the work of primarily local artists, photographers, and writers.
