Macoun (2016 population: ) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Cymri No. 36 and Census Division No. 2. The village is located 28 km northwest of the city of Estevan on Highway 39.

History

After a Soo Line extension in 1898 linked more settled areas of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota with the Canadian Pacific line, a section of land along the rail line became favoured by incoming land seekers, eventually being named Macoun on railway maps.

Macoun incorporated as a village on October 16, 1903. On April 20, 1914, an acetylene gas plant explosion in the cellar of the Macoun Hotel and the resulting fire caused 13 deaths.{{Cite web | last =Poverty Bay Herald, Volume XLI, Issue 13394, 30 May 1914, Page 10 | title = HOTEL FIRE | url =http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=PBH19140530.2.92 | access-date = 2014-08-15}} In the early 1900s acetylene was widely used for illumination.

The village is named for John Macoun, an Irish-born Canadian naturalist, botanist and explorer who studied the prairies on behalf of the Canadian government.
