Springside is a little town of about 520 people just a bit Northwest of Yorkton. When the railway came through, the siding here was called Patrick after Dr T. A. Patrick of Yorkton. However, there was already another nearby place that went by the name Patrick, so it was decided a change was in order. Seeing as there were springs along the Dakota trail here, it was thought that Springside would be a fitting name.
F. H. and Will Willis brought in a shipment of lumber and built the first permanent structure here in 1903 - a general store. Their store was also the post office and got its first batch of mail on July 1, 1904. The CPR carried out business in a converted boxcar, which was a quite common practice at the time. Around 1920, the Bank of Montreal opened an office in town at the corner of Railway and Patrick.
The Government of Saskatchewan declared Springside to be a village in 1909. In 1910 the village boasted 2 streetlamps. 1911 saw the village hire its first constable and Walt Bagg became the chief of the Fire Brigade. A Town Hall was built, and movies were shown there. The popularity of the movies were sufficent to require and expansion to the hall in 1924, and a piano was purchased in 1918. An outdoor skating ring was constructed in 1928.
During the 1930's the highway was contructed, which made travel to Yorkon much easier, and most services moved out of Springside and to the "big city". The Town Hall was renovated in 1950, and a new Town Hall was built in 1967. In 1973, new homes were once again being built in the town.
