Historic Sites of Manitoba: South Derby School No. 1390 (Municipality of Cartwright-Roblin)
The South Derby School District was established formally in June 1906. A school building was erected the next year on the northwest quarter of 27-2-14 west of the Principal Meridian in what is now the Municipality of Cartwright-Roblin. It closed in 1967 and its catchment area became part of the Cartwright School District No. 174. The school building is no longer on the site but a metal sign commemorates it.
