Arran (2021 population: 20) is a special service area in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Livingston No. 331 and Census Division No. 9. It held village status between 1916 and 2022.

History

The Doukhobor settlement of Vosnesinia, on the Swan River northeast of Arran, in the early 1900s

The area around Arran was part of the "North Reserve", also known as "Thunder Hill Reserve", one of the block settlement areas allocated for the Doukhobor immigrants who arrived in 1899 from Russia's Transcaucasian provinces.[4]

Arran incorporated as a village on September 21, 1916.[1] It restructured on January 1, 2023, relinquishing its village status in favour of becoming a special service area under the jurisdiction of the Rural Municipality of Livingston No. 331.[2] The community was named after the Isle of Arran in Scotland.[5]
