Curator's note |
The townsite of Gull Lake is situated on what was once part of the 76 Ranch, established in 1887. The 76 Ranch House, built in 1888, is one of southwestern Saskatchewan's oldest existing buildings. The 10,000-acre 76 Ranch at Gull Lake was one of several massive ranches established by Sir John Lister-Kaye's Canadian Agricultural, Coal and Colonization Company. By the early 20th century, however, the company was suffering financial losses and the land was becoming more attractive for grain farming. - Information from The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan |
