The Idylwild School District was established in July 1919 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SW25-25-6W in the Rural Municipality of Grahamdale, in the present-day Little Birch Wildlife Management Area. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Lakeshore School Division.
