The community is located at the junction of Highway 254 and Highway 345, approximately 100 km south-west of Brandon only 22 km south-west of the Town of Hartney. Lauder is about 3 miles south of the Souris River and the Lauder Sand Hills.Lauder was established in 1891 by the Canadian Pacific Railway and named after Archdeacon John Strutt Lauder, rector of Christ Church in Ottawa. The first survey laid out blocks 1-3 then in 1903, the CPR surveyors laid out blocks 4-7. About the only type of business the town didn't have in its long history was a fire department. The first of several devastating fires was "the great fire of 1894". 125 years after its establishment, there is only one business left in town and most of the buildings are gone but the community spirit is strong.
