History
The RM of Argyle No. 1 incorporated as a rural municipality on December 19, 1912.[1] Prior to it was Local Improvement District No. 1.
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.[2]
