The Rural Municipality of Argyle No. 1 (2016 population: 290) is a rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within Census Division No. 1 and SARM Division No. 1. Located along Highway 18, Local Improvement District No. 1 became the RM of Argyle No. 1 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.

History

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]
