Village Of Paradise Hill

Paradise Hill is located in West Central Saskatchewan. Surrounded by rolling hills, nearby lakes and blue sky, the area is host to some of the most beautiful scenery in the province. The village sits nestled against a picturesque tree covered hillside along Highway #3, 40 kilometers east of the Alberta border. It is within 45 minutes of Lloydminster and 1 ½ hours of North Battleford, providing relatively quick access to the amenities of a larger center.In 1887, settlers from the Little Red Deer Hill left by horseback for the Klondike Gold Rush. They were Ernest, Ed & Alphonse Beliveau, Edward & Elphage Desautels, Louis Pitre, Victor Savage and Napoleon Belange. There they met David & Albert Bilodeau. These men found no gold but encountered terrible hardship. To survive they butchered their white pack horse. They returned home and when at last sighting the hill, Ernest Beliveau called it the Hill of Paradise from which the Village later took its name.
