Earl Grey is a village in southern Saskatchewan, Canada, located approximately 66.67 kilometers from the city of Regina, Saskatchewan. A small statue of a grain elevator is displayed in the downtown area, a commemorative tribute to the village's once-thriving grain economy. The area was first settled in 1901 by Paul Henderson, younger brother of Jack Henderson, hangman of Louis Riel.〔Black, Norman Fergus (1913). A HISTORY OF SASKATCHEWAN AND THE OLD NORTH WEST.〕 Subsequent to Paul Henderson's death from exposure in 1903, other settlers followed; in 1906 the village was incorporated and named "Earl Grey" after Albert Grey, 4th Earl Grey, Canada's Governor General at the time.〔Shortt, Adam & Doughty, Arthur G., editors (1914). Canada and Its Provinces: Volume 19: The Prairie Provinces Part One〕 Currently, the town has two churches (Christ Lutheran Church (ELCIC) and a United Church), one Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, several old-age homes, a hotel, a curling rink, and a veterinary clinic. The public school was downsized to a Kindergarten-Grade 8 school in the 2003-2004 school year, before closing completely in 2007. ==Demographics==
