Leader, Saskatchewan

Homesteaders began arriving in large numbers in 1907; most were German immigrants from southern Russia. In 1913, the Canadian Pacific Railway came through the area and the village of Prussia was incorporated.

In 1917, anti-German sentiment prompted the inhabitants to change its name to Leader.
