Leofeld

Last updated

Leofeld, Saskatchewan, Canada, was founded in 1903 by Catholic German settlers. It is located seven miles south east of Cudworth, Saskatchewan in the rural municipality of Hoodoo 401. Shortly after the time of settlement a store, school, church and post office sprang up. The village started to shrink because of the railroad choosing to go through Cudworth, Saskatchewan instead. Today all that remains are the church and a few farmyards. [1]

The St. Boniface Church (Leofeld Church) built in 1903 is on the Saskatchewan Register of Heritage Property. [2]

A block settlement is a particular type of land distribution which allows settlers with the same ethnicity to form small colonies. This settlement type was used throughout western Canada between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some were planned and others were spontaneously created by the settlers themselves. As a legacy of the block settlements, the three Prairie Provinces have several regions where ancestries other than British are the largest, unlike the norm in surrounding regions.
