Prud'homme (/pruːˈdoʊm/; 2016 population: 167) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Bayne No. 371 and Census Division No. 15. It is approximately 60 kilometres (37 miles) northeast of Saskatoon. Prud'homme was first known by the name of Bluebell Ranch, then Lally Siding. In 1905 the Canadian Northern Railway came through and renamed it Marcotte's Crossing; two years later it became known as Howell; and finally, in 1922, it was named after the Suffragan Bishop of Prince-Albert–Saskatoon, Joseph H. Prud'homme.[5] The community is mostly based on agriculture.
