Roche Percee /rɒʃ pərˈseɪ/ (2021 population: 75) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the RM of Coalfields No. 4 and Census Division No. 1. The village is near the Canada–United States border, just off Highway 39. Roche Percee is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Estevan in the Souris River valley.[1][2]

History

Early settlement

A group of men and young boys are standing at a stall set up in a park at Roche Percee sometime between 1910 and 1925. Writing on the image indicates this is a park in Roche Perce.

In 1872, the Boundary Commission travelled through this area while surveying the Canada–United States border between Canada and the United States. During the 1874 March West trek of the North-West Mounted Police, the force established its first camp (called Short Creek Camp) at this location. Short Creek[3] is a tributary of the Souris River and it meets the river on the west side of Roche Percee.

In 1890, the federal government opened a post office serving the Roche Percee area, under the name of "Coalfields". Renamed "Roche Percée" in 1896, it closed in 1897, but re-opened in 1905. It permanently closed in 1970.[4]

The community began being served by the Soo Line in 1893, permitting the coal mines in the region to become operational. Roche Percee incorporated as a village on January 12, 1909.[5][6]

Rock formations

La Roche Percee Provincial Historic Site is located nearby. Referred to by local residents as "the Rocks", it has large sandstone deposits in which some caves have formed. The name of the village comes from the Métis French name of the rock formations.[7][5] Another similar formation Percé Rock is in Quebec.

In 2010, the provincial government signed an agreement with Southeast Tour & Trails Inc. to restore Roche Percee Park after being closed for over a decade.[8]

2011 Flood

In 2011, flooding on the Souris River inundated the village, forcing its residents to evacuate.[9][10] Of the 64 homes in Roche Percee, 28 were damaged beyond repair, and had to be demolished.[11]
