Indian Head began in 1882, when the first settlers, mostly Scots from Ontario, pushed into the district ahead of the Canadian Pacific Railway, many travelling by ox-cart from Brandon. The "Indian" in the name refers to Indigenous peoples in Canada. Among the earliest operations was the Bell Farm, which Major Bell started that year on tens of thousands of acres. It was so large that passenger trains sometimes stopped so travellers could watch the harvest. Its telephone line, strung on barbed wire, was the first communication system in Saskatchewan.
