The Parkland School District No. 1036 was established in March 1899 and, in 1901, a school building was erected at a site about one-quarter mile south of this cairn in the Rural Municipality of Archie. In April 1915, it was consolidated with Rutherglen School to form Rutherglen Consolidated School No. 1297 in the nearby McAuley. The name was later re-used by another school district in the Rural Municipality of Wallace.
