named after a place in Northern Ireland
Northgate came into being
with the coming of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad Oct 14, 1913
connecting Northgate to Regina SK.
Northgate at various times in it's history,
hosted a Post Office, Grocery Store,
Customs and Immigration Offices, Railway Station,
Train Round House, Quarantine Barn, and Pens,
a School, and of course homes.
I remember the store, as in the mid 60's
I was a swamper on the Grundeen Creamery
delivery truck from Estevan.
Northgate store was our 2nd last stop.
North Portal was our last stop before heading back to Estevan.
This was a full day delivery, from before dusk, to after dark.
First
Junior Red Cross Society in the World
was created here Oct 7, 1915.
