[8] Warden, a former officer of the North-West Mounted Police, had established a ranch in the area in the early 1880s, which subsequently became a staging post for mail coaches travelling between Saskatoon and Battleford.

[9] The community's last business closed in 1991, and its derelict Anglican church was destroyed by fire three years later. [13] After several years during which Baljennie was effectively a ghost town, a number of families moved to the town site from 2007 onwards. [13]
