Things to Know About the Scobey – Coronach Border Crossing:

  • The Scobey – Coronach border crossing was the first fully automated port of entry in the world, making use of a speaker recognition system that would allow registered locals to cross the border even after the port has been closed for the night. This was back in 1996. A Remote Video Inspection System replaced the speaker recognition system later on. After 9/11, the automated system was decommissioned.
  • The Canadian province of Saskatchewan observes the Central Standard Time year-round. Please keep this in mind when you are planning on crossing the Canadian port.
  • The Scobey – Coronach border crossing was established as an official port of entry by the US Customs Service back in 1914 when homesteading was at its peak in this area. It wasn’t until 1937, however, that the government first built its border station here.
