Borden serves a large agricultural community in addition to the citizens in the Village itself.
Many of the services offered are made possible by not only the Village Council but the various community groups and orgnaizations within the region. The volunteers within these clubs, groups and organizations continue to be a driving force in the community. To enhance life for residents, the community provides a Community Health Centre with a medical doctor (3 days per week), pharmacy, First Responders, and volunteer fire department.

Borden was founded in 1905 and was originally named Baltimore. It was later renamed by the Canadian National Railroad (CNR) in honor of Sir Frederick Borden, a Nova Scotia doctor and Minister of Militia in Sir Wilfred Laurier's Cabinet. The railway reached Borden in 1906 and the village was incorporated three years later. The first council consisted of Thomas Graviston, William Tallis, and Norman Smith. Mr. Smith served on the council for 35 years.
Our rich history is visible through local venues such as Foster's General Store (opened in 1920), and the Borden Museum, which features a replica of the home of Rt. Hon. John G. Diefenbaker, Canada's 13th Prime Minister.
 Historic home town of Rt. Hon. Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker, early 1900's artist F. N. (Frederick Nicholas) Loveroff, as well as political activist, speaker & author David Orchard.
