From 1905 to 1913 the area, now known as LeRoy, was a Local Improvement District. In 1913 the Local Improvement District was constituted as the Rural Municipality of Roach #339, as meetings were held at the home of James Roach. In 1914, it became the RM of Ayr #339, containing the Bogend Post Office, established in 1905, and Bogend School in 1907. In August 1919 a Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) blueprint showed the crossing of the proposed rail line to be built through the RM, so planning began for a town in that RM in the same year. The area was named Bogend and on January 21, 1920 it was renamed LeRoy. LeRoy was incorporated as a village on December 5, 1922. In March 1963 proclamation received declaring LeRoy a town.[5][6]

Sports and recreation

The LeRoy Memorial Arena is home to the Leroy Braves of the Long Lake Hockey League.[7] Leroy also has a curling rink, ball diamonds nearby, and golf at the reginal park,[8] amongst other activities.

Leroy Leisureland Regional Park (51.9981°N 104.8337°W / 51.9981; -104.8337) was founded in 1972 and is located four miles west of Leroy. It is nestled among 70 acres of well treed rolling land with a Lanigan Creek running through it, a man-made sand swimming pool with a slide, a playground, beach volleyball, one horse shoe pit, and table tennis. There is a nine-hole grass green golf course and 34 campsites with 30-amp power. The golf clubhouse and concession were built in 1992, and in 1999, there was a grass green upgrade to the golf course.[9]

Four miles south of town is Jansen Lake[10] and to the east are the Quill Lakes.
