The Town of Warman was born when the Canadian
National Railway running from Humboldt to North
Battleford intersected with the Canadian Pacific
Railway running from Regina to Prince Albert. This
took place in the fall of 1904.
The original name of the town was called Diamond,
because the crossing of the two railroad lines created
a diamond shape. Soon the name of the town site was
changed to Warman, named after Cy Warman (1855-1914),
a journalist who followed and recorded the construction
of the Canadian national Railway. In 1905, there was a
huge influx of settlers so that in 1906, Warman was
organized as a village. By 1927, the population had dropped
to 148 people so that the village council decided to
disorganize and return to hamlet status. For the next 35
years the affairs of the hamlet were handled by the Rural
Municipality of Warman, who had their office in Warman.

In the early 1950’s Warman began to grow again. Families chose to live in Warman rather than in Saskatoon where many of them
were employed. By 1961, the population of Warman had reached 659, so it was decided in 1962 to incorporate again as a village.
By 1966, Warman had grown so much that they were granted status as a town.
The Town of Warman has since become a prosperous town of 4655 people and continues to grow. This in turn has encouraged
businesses to start and prosper, making it the thriving town it is today.
