The town of Rouleau was named after Magistrate Charles Borromée Rouleau. Settlers came to the area in the early 1900s during the construction of the Soo line railway. The community was incorporated as a village in 1903 and as a town in 1907.
In 2003, when the Corner Gas team was searching for a spot in Saskatchewan to film the show, they chose Rouleau because it was the flattest, most classically Saskatchewan prairie spot they could find. Brent Butt loved the intersection where the Corner Gas station was eventually built, and so Rouleau temporarily became Dog River.
Inside the Town Hall there’s a map of the full walking tour. There are also maps where other visitors have marked where they traveled from – please go inside and add yourself!
