== History ==
Conquerville was first established in the early 20th century, the area previously having been used by ranchers along the McLeod Trail, ''en route'' to Fort McLeod. The route, which had been converted into a railway during the 1890s, brought many passengers and ranchers nearby Conquerville, including coal miners after coal was discovered in the area early in the 20th century. In 1909, Conquerville underwent an agricultural boom, which brought many farmers to the area. The First World War brought prosperity to Conquerville, with the 1915–16 harvest benefiting all; however, the post-war period saw the town fall on harsh times. Disease ravaged the local cattle population, and Spanish influenza destroyed many families. Grants to farmers, coupled with land grants to new residents supported by the government, led to a rebound for the prairie town. In 1945, a large Conquerville school opened, combining nine different school districts into one. In 1954, the town was electrified, and in 1965 the town celebrated its 50th anniversary of its founding, publishing a book, ''Conquerville: a growing community'', to celebrate.
