Baljennie is an unincorporated community in Glenside Rural Municipality No. 377, Saskatchewan, Canada. Its first post office opened in 1891. [6]
Baljennie was named by an early resident, Stephen ('Sandy') Warden, [7] after his daughter Jean, and was originally spelt Baljeanie. [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. [8] A school was opened at Baljennie in August 1912. [9]
The Canadian Pacific Railway extended its line northward from Asquith to Baljennie in 1931. [10] The line between Sonningdale and Baljennie was closed in June 1977. [11]
Baljennie had a population of 76 at the time of the 1951 census, [12] but declined in later years. The school was closed in 1970 and was turned into a community centre. [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]
In her 1976 song "Coyote", Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, who grew up in Saskatoon, sings "I looked the coyote right in the face/On the road to Baljennie near my old hometown".
