The Quarter section where the village is situated was homesteaded in 1903 by John Stewart, and later sold to George Cockburn Sr. in 1911 the C.N.R. purchased it for a town site. In 1902, Captain Charles Jaques, a home- steader, had a store and post office on his farm. Mrs. Jaques named the post office "Briercrest" after the wild roses which grew along the rim of an old glacial lake. They agreed that the name could be moved to the new village. It was incorporated in 1912. Erected by the Briercrest recreation board in co-operation with the Government of Saskatchewan. |
