History

The community was established in 1887, just before the arrival of the Manitoba and Northwestern Railway in 1888; a post office was opened when rail service began.[4] In 1894, Saltcoats was the first village incorporated in the North-West Territories as they then were.[5] The town was originally named 'Stirling', but when the railway arrived the name was changed to Saltcoats, after Saltcoats, Scotland, the birthplace of a major railway shareholder and the home port of Allen Steam-ship Lines which brought over many of the immigrants from the British Isles that settled in the region.[6]

In 1902, 208 Welsh settlers (44 families) fleeing unfavourable conditions in Welsh Patagonia came to Saltcoats, but within a generation their community lost its cultural cohesion and melted into the English-speaking cultural matrix.[7]

Demographics

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Saltcoats had a population of 473 living in 205 of its 227 total private dwellings, a change of -2.3% from its 2016 population of 484. With a land area of 1.35 km2 (0.52 sq mi), it had a population density of 350.4/km2 (907.5/sq mi) in 2021.[8]
