Kandahar is a small hamlet near Wynyard, Saskatchewan, Canada, named by Canadian National railroad workers in the late 1800s for a British military victory in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
It is located near Great Quill Lake, the largest inland body of salt water in Canada. Until the 1970s it was a thriving town with various stores and attractions, including a popular steak house. However, in 1982 the village's only school closed, and the population has steadily decreased.
