A CLASSIC GHOST TOWN ( INSINGER SASKATCHEWAN )
#littlebitmore2#canadianprairies#ghosttown
Insinger is located on Hwy #16 North West of Yorkton SK.
much of this info was obtained from the web
Scores of rural towns, like Insinger have either become ghost towns or are close to extinction; victims of rural depopulation, rail line and grain elevator closures, rock-bottom crop prices, rising transportation costs, and farm consolidation. Government officials say from 1985 to 2000, more than 30 towns and villages throughout Saskatchewan have been deserted
The exact definition of a ghost town varies between individuals, and between cultures. Some writers discount settlements that were abandoned as a result of a natural or human-made disaster, using the term only to describe settlements which were deserted because they were no longer economically viable; T. Lindsey Baker, author of Ghost Towns of Texas, defines a ghost town as a town for which the reason for being no longer exists.[1] Some believe that any settlement with visible tangible remains should not be called a ghost town;[2] others say, conversely, that a ghost town should contain the tangible remains of buildings.[3] Whether or not the settlement must be completely deserted, or may contain a small population, is also a matter for debate.[2] Generally, though, the term is used in a looser sense, encompassing any and all of these definitions.
. Once a busy little village the church now locked up watches over the deserted streets and dilapidated houses . The little community, which grew to a peak population of about 100 citizens, once had four thriving general stores, a blacksmith shop, two garages, a hotel and a café. The cp rail was layed in 1903, po established in 1908, village was formed in 1921
more info was provided by ----- a relative to some of the residents.
His grandfather, William Shwaga, owned and operated a barbershop and pool hall across the street from the Post Office some time in the mid to late 1920's.
His mother attended the school reunion in 1998 along with his father.
His mother said that Blacks operated one of the grocery stores and that Kalababba (sic) operated a dray and express business.
His Mother also Mr. Harasamuk (?sic) taught school.

Over the yrs people left By 1979 the population was 25. In 1999, Insinger's two elevators were demolished, and the only businesses remaining were the rural municipality office and post office which are still used to date. The population had shrunk again to less than 20.
The community celebrated the 75th anniversary of the municipality in 1988, hosted a school reunion in 1998, and a homecoming in 2000
When the first settlers came to an east-central region of Saskatchewan they would later call Insinger in the late 19th century,
Settlers lived in a hole dug about a metre deep in the ground and covered them with branches, sod, grass and any other materials immediately available. For tools they had knives, wooden spoons, hammers, axes, chisels, scythes and flails - all brought with them from the old country.
They used a hearth for their baking and candles for lights. Women used grind stones for gristing flour. Grind stones also gristed sunflower and hemp sod. All the furniture was homemade. Bed mattresses were stuffed with grass or straw. They used benches for chairs.
The first settlers arrived in 1891, led by a rancher named Fredrik Robert Insinger. Mr. Insinger was later the region's representative to parliament in Ottawa when the vast land of the west was still known as the Northwest Territories.
In 1897, a group of Ukrainians known as the Central European Immigrants first came to the area from Winnipeg and then Yorkton. From there, they either walked to the Insinger area along the old Lawrie Trail, or travelled by horse and oxen. Homesteads had been purchased for $10 a quarter section.
Settlers soon found the land was fertile for ground wheat. The first school in the area - Lawrie School No. 494 - was built in 1898. A school was later built in the village in 1921. It closed in 1967.
Citizens built their first church, the St. Mary's Church of Ukrainian Greek Orthodox, in 1905 out of logs and mud.
The first general store at Insinger was opened by Metro Sharek in 1903. At about the same time, the tiny new community had its first post office. A year later, the railroad arrived in Insinger.
The Rural Municipality of Insinger was first incorporated in 1913. The first elected reeve was Fred Mason of Theodore. The village of Insinger later had its own local government, with a mayor and two councilors. The first meeting of the Village of Insinger was held on June 6, 1921.
