The Favor School District was organized formally in March 1934 and a school bulding was erected on the northwest quarter of 10-33-22 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Rural Municipality of Mountain. The school closed and the district was dissolved in 1967. Its area became part of the Duck Mountain School Division. The original school building still stands at the site, surrounded by agricultural land.
