Before Eagle Hills School was built in 1905, the community had church activities at the homes of the local residents.
Student ministers and ministers travelled mainly on horseback or horse and buggy. Many gatherings were held and Sunday school was also held for the younger children. Settlers started to arrive in the area in the early 1880s to take up homesteads. The RM of Prairie No. 408 was founded in 1911 and continued on until 1999 when they joined with Battle River RM No. 438.
The Red Cross Rural Telephone Company came into the area in 1920 and in 1992 changed to Battleford Rural Telephone Company Limited with above ground telephone poles. In the later years all telephone lines were built underground. The first telephones got their power from batteries that had to be changed yearly.
In 1977 Sasktel took over all the rural telephones. In the late 192's the CPR track was laid and ran from Cando to Battleford and there were two elevators built by the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. The first one out of Battleford was Dacer No. 762 built in 1928 on to the second one Porter No. 767 built also in 1928 by the Sask. Wheat Pool. They were both very busy little elevators, but they lasted close to 40 years. Changes come and they both closed and were torn down in the 1970s.
The railroad track abandoned and taken up at the same time. The railroad trestle that spanned a deep creek, four miles south of Battleford was a historical structure. It was one of the highest of its kind in Saskatchewan. Due to no rail tracks any more and modern day progress the trestle has been torn down.
Eagle Hills area had a rural mail route that started in the 1930s and is still running today. They have had many mail carriers and changes over the years.
About 1952, Eagle Hills formed a snow plow club in order to keep the roads open to travel in the winter months. They kept going until roads were improved. New roads were built and Highway 4 came through the area from Cando to Battleford.
Eagle Hills, I'm sure will be always remembered for many years to come by the people young and old. Memories live on and are not forgotten. The little community will be missed. Eagle Hills area will continue on with its farming and ranch life for all those who live there.
