Theodore

The Theodore post office first opened in 1893 by a German industrialist, Richard John Earnest Seeman, who brought immigrants from Europe and started the town at the legal land description of Sec.1, Twp.28, R.7, W2. Seeman named the town Theodore after his father. In 1894, Seeman moved to Yorkton with his wife (but she did not stay long) according to author Guilherme de Albuquerque d’Orey in an essay he wrote in the early 2020s. Theodore Reservoir and Whitesand Regional Park are about 10 km north-east of Theodore. The village contains a Co-op, a fire department, an old-age home, a motel, a butcher shop, a variety store, a Canada Post outlet, a kindergarten to 8th grade Catholic school and a former CPR train station.
