History of Lloydminster The Lloydminster area was first settled in April, 1903 with the arrival of the Barr Colonists, approximately 2,600 people from England. The new settlement was named in honour of Rev. Lloyd for his efforts in leading the colonists. Lloydminster is derived from Rev. Lloyd and the word "minster", meaning "mother church". The newly founded hamlet of Lloydminster was located astride the 4th Meridian in the Northwest Territories. When the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were created in 1905 and the 4th Meridian selected as the inter-provincial boundary, the Village of Lloydminster was split in two. The Alberta portion of the divided community was incorporated as a Village in Alberta on July 6, 1906, while the Saskatchewan portion was incorporated as a Town in Saskatchewan in April, 1907. This peculiar situation resulted in the duplication of all municipal functions such as the creation of two separate municipal councils, two municipal offices and two fire departments. Common sense prevailed and the two communities were amalgamated into a single municipality - the Town of Lloydminster, by an Order-in-Council of both provinces on May 20, 1930. On January 1, 1958 the Town of Lloydminster received its charter as the City of Lloydminster and became the 10th City in both provinces. In 1998, the City conducted a photographic inventory of buildings constructed prior to 1940 for historical purposes.  Early editions of  The Lloydminster Times have been scanned and are available on line courtesy of The Alberta Heritage Digitization Project.  The Lloydminster and District Centennial Commemorative Association has been formed to preserve and promote  local history and to spearhead Lloydminster's Centennial Celebration in July, 2003.  A local history book, Bordering on Greatness, is now available.  One of the many resources listed is a history of Council Members.
