Administrative history
Tuxford was incorporated as a village on July 19, 1907. The SW quarter of Section 5 in Township 19, Range 26 was chosen as the best location for a townsite and railroad station. CPR officials named the town Tuxford, for George Stuart Tuxford whose untiring efforts with railway officials got the railroad routed through the Buffalo Lake wheat growing area. In 1905 an insurance and real estate office was set up on the townsite. Plans were under way for the construction of grain elevators and by fall 1905 the railroad was within a mile East of the townsite. The first overseer of the Village of Tuxford was D.E. MacIntyre. Secretary-treasurer of the Village Council from 1907-1912 was J.B. Calver.
