Brief History
The Rural Municipality (RM) of Prairiedale contains six townships with approximately 138,240 acres including the Villages of Smiley and Major, along with the ghost towns of Dewar Lake & Superb. The RM was incorporated in 1910; the name of the municipality is a descriptive one chosen by the early settlers.
Major is approximately 267 kilometers (kms) west of Saskatoon on Highway 51. The name comes from a series of titular names from a Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) list; the military theme is carried out in the names of the Village streets: Trooper Street, Recruit Street, and Sergeant Avenue. People from Ontario and the United States (U.S.) first settled the area in the 1880s. Major has a service station, camp sites, a credit union, and post office. The RM office is now located here in town, in the old school.
Smiley was named for Ernest Everett Smiley. Born in Missouri, he filed on a homestead in the Smiley area in 1906. Today Smiley has a picnic/park/play area, and post office.
