Northgate came into being with the coming of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad Oct 14, 1913,
connecting Northgate to Regina SK., see below

Northgate at various times in it's history, hosted a Post Office, Grocery Store,
Customs and Immigration Offices, Railway Station, Train Round House, Railway repair shops,
Quarantine Barn, and Pens, a School, a Hotel, and of course homes.

I remember the store, as in the mid 60's, I was a swamper on the Grundeen Creamery delivery truck from Estevan.
Northgate store was our 2nd last stop. North Portal was our last stop before heading back to Estevan.
This was a full day delivery, from before dusk, to after dark.

First Junior Red Cross Society in the World was created here Oct 7, 1915.
