Masefield was named after John Masefield, a contemporary English poet.[5]
Masefield once contained a store, lumber yard, pool hall, cafe, and blacksmith shop, as well as a three-room schoolhouse and three grain elevators. Crop failures began in 1925, causing many residents to take out new farms at Hays, Alberta, where a new irrigation project was being installed. Although no business operates in the community today, its name survives in the nearby Masefield Pasture, which is co-operatively managed.[5]
In 2006, Masefield had a population of 0 living in 0 dwellings, a 0% increase from 2001. The community had a land area of 0.00 km2 (0 sq mi) and a population density of 0/km2 (0/sq mi).
