Ernfold (2016 population: 15) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Morse No. 165 and Census Division No. 7. Initially situated alongside the original two-lane highway, the village was enclosed by the opposing lanes of the divided Trans-Canada Highway in 1973. In order to avoid complete destruction of the village the eastbound lane of the Trans-Canada Highway was rerouted approximately 3 km south of the village, leaving the village sandwiched between the Trans-Canada.

The village's population peaked at around 300 citizens.

History

Ernfold incorporated as a village on December 4, 1912.

Heritage site

The Ernfold School is a red brick, 1+1⁄2-story Georgian Revival structure built in 1919. The building served as a school until it closed in 1972. It was then used as a Baptist church for a short time until the church closed in 1989. On May 6, 1990 the Village of Ernfold passed (Bylaw No. 90-1), placing the building on the Canadian Register of Historic Places as a Municipal Heritage Property.
