The area around Spruce Lake was first settled in 1910. Quite a large number of the first settlers were German. There were also several Scandinavians, British, Ukrainian, Polish, and French settlers. The Canadian Northern Railway (now the Canadian National Railway) came through in 1919 and the first grain elevator was built that year. Cattle was also shipped from Spruce Lake on the railway. The last remaining grain elevator burned down in 1983. Spruce Lake lost village status in 2006. [1] The rail line that ran through the community was abandoned in 2005 and torn up in 2008.
A grain elevator is a facility designed to stockpile or store grain. In the grain trade, the term "grain elevator" also describes a tower containing a bucket elevator or a pneumatic conveyor, which scoops up grain from a lower level and deposits it in a silo or other storage facility.
