Detailed description is Meota is a village in Meota Rural Municipality No. 468, Saskatchewan, Canada. The village's population was 297 at the 2006 Canadian Census. The village name is derived from the Cree phrase Meotate or Mo-Was-In-Ota, meaning "good place to camp" or "it is good here."DemographicsIn 2006, Meota had a population of 297 living in 197 dwellings, a 1.4% increase from 2001. The village has a land area of 1.55km2 and a population density of 191.9/km2.HistoryA post office named Meota was established in 1894, but it was located where the present-day community of Metinota is, leading to some confusion over the origins of the current village of Meota. The first post office in present-day Meota was established in 1910, although it was initially called Beachview.Joseph A. Dart, an early merchant, had established a store in a tent near current-day Meota, and in 1910, he moved to the Meota townsite where his store operated in a building on Main Street. The Canadian Northern Railway opened its line through Meota in 1910-1911. Soon after the arrival of the railway, Meota was incorporated as a village on February 1, 1911. In 1912 the first grain elevator was constructed, and then a dance pavilion opened in 1921. Other industries included brick manufacturing, a flour mill, and commercial fishing ("Meota Whites"). Unfortunately a series of fires have decimated the village's business district, and the advent of the automobile caused many local residents to drive to North Battleford for shopping.
