Aberdeen is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada. Located 18 minutes north-east of Saskatoon, it has a population of 622 people.
Aberdeen was first settled by immigrants of Russian, English, Scottish and Ukrainian descent in the 1890s to 1900s.

By 1908, the railway had become critical for the sale of wheat, with 120 rail cars of hard wheat shipped out that year. [5]
