The Rural Municipality of Reno No. 51 (2016 population: 379) is a rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within Census Division No. 4 and SARM Division No. 3. Located in the southwest corner of the province, it is adjacent to the United States border to the south and the Alberta boundary to the west.

History[]

The RM of Reno No. 51 incorporated as a rural municipality on December 11, 1911.[2] Reno, Nevada and Reno County, Kansas are both named for Jesse Lee Reno, a Union general in the American Civil War. However, no record exists of why the Saskatchewan RM's name might derive from this source. An alternative explanation is that RENO is an acronym of four rural post offices in the vicinity - Russthorn (near Robsart), Eden Valley (southwest of Cypress Lake), Nashlyn (south of Consul), and Oxarat (west of Cypress Lake). Although Nashlyn then lay outside the boundary of the RM, similar acronymic names are not unknown on the Canadian prairies; see also Sangudo, Alberta.[5]
