Dates of School district erection from Appendix 1 page 73. This was the date of school district incorporation from the Department of Education (now the Ministry of Education). Locations listed under notes refer to the nearby placenames and not to the school district. A few school houses are listed by their school house location if the quarter is known. Otherwise, if only township and range is noted only the area of the entire school district is noted. See accompanying maps. Links to footnote sources in notes for reference to locations supplied.
