The community was named after poet Robert Browning and is part of "Poet's Corner" along the CN Railway line in south-east Saskatchewan. Other poetic towns include Carlyle (Thomas Carlyle), Wordsworth (William Wordsworth), Service (Robert W. Service), Cowper (William Cowper), and Lampman (Archibald Lampman).[1]
There is no "town" now and the only building still standing from the original townsite is the old school, which is abandoned and boarded up. There still are a few farms nearby and the Browning Cemetery. The abandoned church, St. Anthony's Catholic Church, burnt down in the spring of 2012. The post office, which opened on 1 February 1911, closed on 31 March 1970.[2]
