Bordertown is a western drama television series that aired 78 half-hour episodes from 1989 to 1991. It is set during the 1880s in a small town that straddles the United States and Canadian border, and law enforcement duties are shared between a U.S. Marshal and a North-West Mounted Police corporal.[1]
The series was a co-production between Canada's Alliance Corporation and France's Tele-Image.[2] It first aired on the American cable network The Family Channel on January 7, 1989,[1] and was seen on Canada's CTV beginning in 1990.[3] A 1989 newspaper article stated that contracts were being prepared for the series to air in France, Italy, and several other European countries.[2]
