Argyle No. 1, Saskatchewan (2006 Population 267) is a rural municipality in south-eastern Saskatchewan, Canada along Highway 18. The Local Improvement District number 1 became Rural Municipality of Argyle No. 1, Saskatchewan on December 19, 1912.

The eastern boundary of the RM is the Municipality of Two Borders, in Manitoba. The southern boundary of the RM is the United States border at Renville County and Bottineau County, both in North Dakota.

Etymology

The exact derivation of the RM's name is unknown, as numerous Argyles and Argylls exist in Western Canada. Argyle Street in Regina and the Rural Municipality of Argyle in Manitoba were both intended to honour Sir John Campbell, 9th Duke of Argyll and fourth Governor-General of Canada. Why both adopted a more phonetic spelling of the name, most commonly used to refer to a type of knitting pattern, is unknown.[1]
