Prud'homme is a village about 60 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, in the Rural Municipality of Bayne No. 371. Before it carried its present name, the settlement went through several others. It was first known as Bluebell Ranch, then as Lally Siding.
In 1905 the Canadian Northern Railway came through and renamed the place Marcotte's Crossing. Two years later it became known as Howell. The village incorporated on November 15, 1922, and that same year it took the name Prud'homme, in honour of Joseph H. Prud'homme, the Suffragan Bishop of Prince-Albert–Saskatoon.
Agriculture is the base of the community today. Prud'homme was home to Barry Boden, a well-known singer of the 1930s. Other people connected with the village include Jeanne Sauvé, who served as Governor General of Canada from 1984 to 1990 and was the first woman in that office, Archbishop Maurice Baudoux of Saint-Boniface, and the author Anthony Bidulka.
