Carrot River is a town located in east-central Saskatchewan in Canada. The administration office for the Rural Municipality of Moose Range No. 486 is located in Carrot River. The name Carrot River comes from the Plains Cree word for river of wild carrots, referring to the wild carrots growing along the Carrot River. Settlement was slow until the Canadian National Railway came in 1931 bringing farmers from the south. The building of roads and drainage ditches improved land conditions around Carrot River. It became a village in 1941 and incorporated as a town on April 1, 1948.
