==History==
St. Louis is home to a large archaeological site〔(The St. Louis archeological find discussed. )〕 of aboriginal artifacts predating those found at Wanuskewin near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Key discoveries at the site have included new species of wolf and buffalo approximately 25% larger than modern species and a bead that indicates decoration of clothing about 1000 years earlier than previously thought.〔(Press release and additional details regarding the archeological find )〕
St. Louis is just northeast of South Branch House, one of many small trading posts from fur trading days; this post was attacked and burnt by the Atsina in the 18th century in retaliation for the company's supplying their enemies the Cree and Assiniboine with guns and goods.
The first post office was founded under the name of Boucher, Saskatchewan NWT on 1 February 1888 with the first post master being Reverend Eugene Lecoq. The post master was succeeded by Jean Baptiste Boucher Sr who homesteaded at Sec.11, Twp.45, R.27, W2 which happened to also be the location of the post office. In 1897-05-01 the post office changed names to St. Louis, Saskatchewan NWT.〔 〕 Historically it was bordered by the Anglo-Métis settlements of Halcro and Red Deer Hill to the north.
