Llewelyn, Saskatchewan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Llewelyn, Saskatchewan was a Canadian settlement of Welsh immigrants near Bangor, Saskatchewan. Many of the initial residents were Patagonian Welsh.
Llewelyn was founded when the Canadian government helped several dozen Welsh families move from Argentina to Saskatchewan, starting in 1902. A school and a post office were in place by late 1903.[1] By 1906, the Canadian Department of the Interior was confident enough to report that "The Welsh settlement of Llewelyn Saskatchewan, appears to be thriving," mentioning the productive farms and four school houses at Llewelyn.[2]
