This community in western Manitoba, a stop on the Estevan Subdivision of the Canadian Pacific Railway, was probably named in commemoration of Lord Charles Beresford (1846-1919), captain of the gunboat HMS Condor during the bombardment of Alexandria, Egypt in 1882.
The Post office opened on January 1, 1884, and closed on October 31, 1960.
