Community in Saskatchewan, Canada
Unincorporated community in Saskatchewan, Canada
South Fork is an unincorporated community within the Rural Municipality of Arlington No. 79, Saskatchewan, Canada in the Cypress Hills along the course of Swift Current Creek.
History
South Fork began in 1913. By 1923 there were three grain elevators, a lumber yard, cafe, blacksmith, pool hall, feed mill, and general store.
A fire in 1928, the depression, and better roads started South Fork on a decline.
The last grain elevator closed in 1974 and moved to a farm south of Dollard.[citation needed]
