Arbuthnot (also known as Westlake, Ville Bouvier) is an unincorporated community located in Glen Bain Rural Municipality No. 105, Saskatchewan, Canada east of Route 19. It was located in census Division No. 2. It was on mile 63 of the Canadian Pacific Railway right of way, southeast of Swift Current and in the NW section 9- township 10- range 7 west of the third meridian.
Residential code 105.10 Regional Health Authority: Five Hills.
Arbuthnot was enumerated and administrated by the Glen Bain Rural Municipality. All that remains is one home.
Etymology Named, according to E.T.Russell, after Sir Robert Arbuthnot, 4th Bt (1864–1916) or (less probably) after John Arbuthnot. Arbuthnot, Saskatchewan was located about 150 kilometres (93 mi) southwest of the City of Moose Jaw, just off of secondary road #611. While it does still appear on the map, the community was never incorporated as a village or town and is not listed in the municipal directory.
From Bill Barry’s People Places: A Historical Gazetteer of Saskatchewan. The Canadian Pacific Railway built a station at this location between Vanguard and Meyronne in 1932. The preferred name of the settlers had been Stapleton after a pioneer settler, but the CPR held firm on its choice for its siding and the post office (which was open 1932-1969) followed suit.
