The peaceful community of Assiniboia invites you to the heart of the golden south. Assiniboia is rich with heritage, resources and a strong sense of community. It is the service centre of the south. The residents and tourists enjoy a rare freedom only the vast, open plains can offer.

The original Northwest Territories' District of Assiniboia, which encompassed Southern Saskatchewan from South of Saskatoon to the U.S. border was named after the Assiniboine Indians. The word Assiniboia is Saulteaux (Plains Ojibwa) meaning "One who cooks with heated stones". It is from this rich dowry the town of Assiniboia adopted its name. Assiniboia officially became a Village on December 22, 1912 and was incorporated as a Town on October 1, 1913.
