History

Brentwood is a city in Northern Saskatchewan, located approximately 250 kilometres north of the province's largest city, Saskatoon. During the early 19th Century, the location of what now is Brentwood was a trading station owned by the Hudson's Bay Company. By the mid 1850s, the station went out of use and was eventually taken over by Metis settlers to the area. Over the last 250 years, several settlers and immigrants have come to call Brentwood home. Even with it's northern and remote location, Brentwood shares the same city status in Saskatchewan along side cities such as Swift Current, North Battleford and Yorkton. With the last Canadian Census (2018) 25,000 people live in Brentwood with an additional 10,000 living in the immediate area, including 4,000 in the Starchild First Nation and 3,500 in the Lonetree First Nation, both of which border the city limits.

Brentwood also includes three major residential district. The Jackson district, named for Abraham Jackson, the leader of a group of African American settlers who moved from Oklahoma in the early 20th Century, the Krakow district, named for the Polish city of Krakow where many Jewish refugees originally came from during the Second World War and the Silver Spring district, which is primarily made up of Palestinian-Canadian residents. More recently a fourth district has begun construction to accommodate the influx of Ukrainian refugees.

Brentwood was incorporated as a village in 1912, a town in 1945 and a city in 1971.
