History
Spring Coulee once boasted a general store, a hotel, three grain elevators, a pool hall, a bank, a United Church, a community hall, a school and a few other businesses. Over time, as the farms around the hamlet became larger and people started moving away, Spring Coulee dwindled somewhat. The general store, hotel, grain elevators, pool hall, bank and community hall have all been torn down. The United Church building was moved to near Glenwood and has been converted into a private home. The old four-room school still stands and has also been converted into a private home. There are several other private dwellings remaining in the hamlet boundaries and in fact there has been some growth of the community in the past 20 years with a few new homes being added.
The two main landmarks of the hamlet today are a seed cleaning plant and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
