This village was founded after Japan had won several victories against the Russian Empire in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). Britain was allied with Japan in this war and Japan has a degree of newfound popularity in the British Empire. Three towns in Saskatchewan along the CN line (Togo, Kuroki, Mikado),[1] a regional park (Oyama),[2] and CN Siding (Fukushiama)[3] were named in honour of Japanese achievements in this war.
