History
Frobisher was originally known as Frobyshire[3] but due to an error in the original village plans, it had to be renamed. In 1903, there were four grain elevators, each with a capacity of 25,000 bushels, one of which still stands. Frobisher was built at the cross-roads of two rail lines, the Canadian Pacific Railway Souris Line and the Grand Trunk Regina-Boundary Branch Line.[4] The Grand Trunk line was a Canadian National Railway line, which is now gone as CN had issued a notice of discontinuance for the section which went from Northgate to Lampman on 16 October 2007.[5] Frobisher was incorporated as a village on July 4, 1904.[6]
