Armley, Saskatchewan

Armley is a former hamlet approximately halfway between Tisdale and Nipawin in Canada, just west of Highway 35 and north of Highway 335.

Coming into existence in the early 1900s as the farming region was settled, Armley reached its peak during the 1920s with the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1924.

With the decline in the rural population of Saskatchewan and the consolidation of businesses and services in larger centers, the townsite now only contains a local community hall and a handfull of houses. The former general store, church, post office, hotel and grain elevators are no longer in operation.
