Prior to January 1, 1951, Lemsford was incorporated under village status, but was restructured as a hamlet under the jurisdiction of the Rural municipality of Newcombe on that date.[5]
Infrastructure
- Great Western Railway, a Canadian short line railway company operating on former Canadian Pacific Railway trackage in southwest Saskatchewan.[6][7]
