[edit] History
The most popular version of the origin of the name is that the first survey party lost its aneroid barometer on the present townsite.[7] Many of the streets in the village are named after surveyor's instruments.[7]
The post office was established as Val Blair on February 1, 1911 and renamed Aneroid on December 1, 1913. Formerly a village, Aneroid was restructured as a hamlet on December 31, 2008, under the administration of R.M. Auvergne No. 76.
