[edit] Haultain, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Haultain is a neighborhood in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Built during the war effort of World War II, the roads were wide enough to support defense by military tanks if need be.[citation needed] It is bordered on the north by the 8th Street East Arterial Commercial District and on the south by Aden Bowman Collegiate Institure, a public secondary school.
Haultain neighborhood is south of 8th Street East, and west of Wiggins Avenue. Taylor Street is the furthest south Street, and Broadway Avenue is the western boundary. North of Taylor Street is 1st Street East, numbering incrementally until 8th Street East. The avenues are, in order, Wiggins, Cairns, Munroe, McKinnon, Clarence, Albert, Landsdowne, Dufferin, and Broadway.
[edit] Naming convention
The neighborhood and original school name honoured the Honourable Sir Frederick William Alpin Gordon Haultain K.B., November 25, 1857 - January 30, 1942. Sir Frederick W. A. G. Haultain, Chief Justice of Saskatchewan, was instrumental in the establishment of the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta from the North West Territories. The executive council of the North West Territories gained leadership from their president, Sir Frederick W. A. G. Haultain from 1897 to 1905; which in essence made him the first 'premier'. The title of the head of government or de facto chief executive was labelled "premier" on Oct. 8, 1897 As Commissioner of Education, he also spent time and energy developing the early school system on the rugged frontier. He was the son of Lieutenant-Colonel F.W. Haultain, Royal Artillery. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
J.S. Wood Library named after James Stewart Wood Saskatoon's Chief Librarian in 1938. [8]

[edit] History
When Haultain School was first constructed it was on the outskirts of the City of Saskatoon. Many residential homes had no running water hook up. Water was delivered by water truck and residents could purchase pails of water. The school provided Monday morning baths in the school basement. Several early homes of the city still had outhouses on the outskirts until plumbing was established. [13]
Milk was delivered by milk wagon and horse until the mid 1960's.
[edit] Demographics
The majority of homes were built during and just after World War II from about 1846 to 1960. Senior citizens compose the majority of the population [14]
