History

The most popular version of the origin of the name is that the first survey party lost its aneroid barometer on the present townsite.[9] Many of the streets in the village are named after surveyor's instruments.[9]

The post office was established as Val Blair on February 1, 1911 and renamed Aneroid on December 1, 1913. Formerly a village, Aneroid was restructured as a special service area on December 31, 2008, under the administration of R.M. Auvergne No. 76.

Significant remaining historic buildings in the community include the 1915 Public School and the 1926 United Church. The two-storey, brick Public School was designed by Stanley Edgar Storey, one of the most significant architects in Saskatchewan;[10] it operated from 1915-97. The red-brick church was designed by architect Charles Nicholson and built in 1926.[11]
