1. Hague, Saskatchewan.
Hague was established in the late nineteenth century as a Mennonite community farming the fertile land in the area. Hague is growing due to its relatively low cost of living compared to Saskatoon. However, the town's connection(Submitted on August 13, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)to the farming community remains strong. It has a school, arena (with hockey and curling), grocery store, hardware store, Credit Union, post office, two restaurants, two gas stations, and a vehicle dealership.

2. The Town of Hague.
The Town of Hague was named after Mr. J. Hague, an engineer for the C.N.R. when the track was laid to connect Saskatoon & Prince Albert. When the main line CNR railroad was put through Saskatchewan, the railroad had to construct water towers along the lines. These towers held about 40,000 gallons of water and would enable the locomotives to fill quickly and frequently. In most cases, water had to be pumped into the tower from a lake or creek. The Hague tower was filled by a pump located at the old spring feed well east of Hague.(Submitted on August 13, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
