The site of the present village was purchased by the CNR in 1911 about the time the railway line was constructed. Many business buildings and homes were built by 1911. At the time of incorporation as a village in April of 1912, there were over 100 persons residing in the village. The name Briercrest was given to the first post office that was located on the farm of Captain Charles Jaques in 1902. Mrs. Jaques had chosen the name after the wild roses growing on a ridge nearby and agreed to the use of the name for the village. The village is located about 45 km southeast of Moose Jaw and about 80 km southwest of Regina, Saskatchewan. It is serviced by Highway #339 and a short-line railroad operated by Southern Rails Co-operative.
