Cedoux, Saskatchewan

Cedoux is a small hamlet located in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. The colonialization of the community of Cedoux, situated 15 miles north of Weyburn, began to form in 1902 with the arrival of a few Polish and Ukrainian settlers. The official date that Cedoux was named is unknown. It was believed at first to have been named the same time as Cedoux Post Office April 1, 1905, but a receipt shows it as having possibly been named as early as July 9, 1904. Cedoux became a village on July 21, 1913.

It is located near provincial highway 35, about 91 kilometres southeast from Regina, 25 km north of Weyburn.
