Saskatoon, city, south-central Saskatchewan, Canada, on the South Saskatchewan River. It was founded in 1883 as the proposed capital of a temperance colony, and its name was derived from Mis-sask-quah-toomina, a Cree word for a local edible red berry.
The city has nine river crossings and is nicknamed the "Paris of the Prairies" and "The City of Bridges". Historic neighbourhoods of Saskatoon include Nutana, Riversdale, and Sutherland which were separate towns before amalgamating with the town of Saskatoon and incorporating it as a city in 1906.
