Eskbank, Saskatchewan

Today, nothing remains of Eskbank. A historical plaque, placed in 2009, denotes the town's former location. The post office of Eyebrow Hill was established 1 June 1904 in the home of John William Hudson and was renamed "Eskbank" on 1 June 1908 after Eskbank, Scotland.^[1] The post office closed on 30 June 1964 (its last Postmaster resigned effective 28 March that year).^[2] The last remaining buildings were burned by the rural municipality in 1975. The derelict Saskatchewan Wheat Pool grain elevator built in 1924 by McCabe and closed in 1984 was deliberately burned on 9 November 2009.^[3]
