History

Settlement in the Preeceville region dates back to fur traders who came to the upper Assiniboine region after explorer David Thompson mapped the area in 1796. Later, ranchers followed the trails left by fur traders and Indigenous peoples, leading to the earliest settlement of the area.

Preeceville was officially established as a village in 1912, the same year the Canadian National Railway arrived, further driving settlement in the region.^[5]

The town is named for the Preece family, who set up a homestead where the town now stands in 1905.^[6]
