Naicam is a town in rural Saskatchewan, located 224 kilometres north of the provincial capital, Regina. According to the 2006 census, the town had a population of 690. Like many communities in the province, Naicam’s origins are tied to the expansion of the railway across the prairies.
The name Naicam is a combination of two surnames – Naismith and Cameron – belonging to the railway construction contractors who worked in the area. This naming convention reflects a common practice in Saskatchewan, where towns and settlements were often named to honour the individuals and companies involved in building the infrastructure that opened up the region.
