The Ghost Town of Kayville, Saskatchewan

Kayville, Saskatchewan is known to be one of many ghost towns in the province of Saskatchewan because all buildings, schools and most of the homesteads are vacant. Like other rural towns in Saskatchewan, Kayville has declined dramatically. The farm economy went down and no money to be made, the population dropped, schools closed, the grain elevator shut down, and the railway was taken away. In 1970 the community’s population reached over 100 citizens. Today, the population has dropped drastically to less than 10 residents
