There were three grain elevators in the small town of Verlo, Saskatchewan until the early 21st century. Two were ex UGG elevators and one was a Paterson elevator.

The hamlet of Verlo was incorporated in 1928 and was located along a Canadian Pacific Railway branch line. The population dwindled in the mid 1950s, and the last of the grain elevators closed in 1984 and the railway was removed (more information).
