Gladmar is one of two urban communities within the rural municipality, the other one being the village of Minton. The area was settled around the turn of the 20th century, a period when a large number of Norwegians migrated into Saskatchewan from older settlements in the northern United States. As a result, Norwegian-Canadians still represent a substantial proportion of the population in the area today.
