Theodore (2021 population: 315) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Insinger No. 275 and Census Division No. 9. Theodore is located on the Yellowhead Highway, in southeastern Saskatchewan. [6] The Theodore post office first opened in 1893 by a German industrialist who brought immigrants from Europe and started the town while living in London named Richard John Earnest Seeman at the legal land description of Sec.1, Twp.28, R.7, W2. [7] Richard named the town, Theodore, after his father and is located between Yorkton and Foam Lake. Richard moved to Yorkton with his wife (but she did not stay long) in 1894 according to author Guilherme de Albuquerque d’Orey in an essay he wrote in the early 2020s.
