Welcome
to the Home Page for Humboldt Saskatchewan
In what
is now central Saskatchewan, there was a stagecoach depot on
the Carlton Trail known as the Humboldt Telegraph Station and
Post, named after the famed German author, explorer and
scientist Baron Alexander von Humboldt.Today, although the Carlton Trail and stage coaches and
telegraphs are long gone, Humboldt remains, a vibrant
community of 5,500 and growing. Humboldt is
Saskatchewan's newest city.One
of the best-known sights in the Humboldt area, and one of
Saskatchewan's Seven Man-Made Marvels is St. Peter's Cathedral
and Abbey just east of
Humboldt,
near Muenster.The cathedral, built
by the monks and early pioneers in
1908, is an excellent example of German design and artwork.
Humboldt Saskatchewan is a wonderful place to live or visit.
