In 1904, a post office opened at 10-9-29W in the Rural Municipality of Pipestone and was named Sproule, for local settler Robert Sproule. With the arrival of the CPR Reston Subdivision in 1906, its name changed to Ebor Station, shortened to Ebor in 1909, allegedly named for the original Roman name of the English city of York (Ebor Accum), the home of a settler in the area.
At one time, Ebor had a general store (1906-1972), rink (1926-1965), bowling alley, blacksmith shop (1907-1941), Orange Hall (1908-1929), United Church (1908-1959), lumber yard, McCulloch & Son grain elevator (1911-1929), Manitoba Pool grain elevator (1929-1961), Searle grain elevator (1927-1961), and railway station and section house (1906-1961). The post office closed in 1970.
A monument was erected by the Ebor Women’s Institute in 1982. It commemorates Sproule School that operated between 1906 and 1912 at SW10-9-29W and Ebor School No. 1332. The Ebor School District was established formally in March 1905, with a school building at SE19-10-28W. In August 1919, it became Ebor Consolidated School No. 1332 at NE10-9-29W. It closed in 1971 and was removed from the site sometime after 1982. Another monument at the site commemorates soldiers from the local area who served and were killed in the First World War.
