Harry and his wife put down roots in Martensville soon after returning from World War II. Harry owned and operated a business called Baycroft Family Fare and Shell service station for several years. It was situated on a cement slab that was located just south of the Adobe Inn. Harry was elected as the first Mayor of Martensville in 1966, and served several years as a town councillor in the years that followed.
Harry brought vision and orderly development to the community in it's early years. Until the community became an incorporated village in 1966, there were no restrictions regarding the types of housing allowed, or where they were placed on the large lots.
Many substandard houses had been moved in from Saskatoon and neighbouring communities. During Baycroft’s years in office, bylaws and housing regulations were introduced and enforced and subdivisions were developed.
About 27 houses were removed and 47 building permits were issued while the village grew to a population of over 1,000, with over half the residents under the age of 18. What had been considered a distant suburb of Saskatoon now became a bedroom community. Harry and his wife were well known for their involvement in the community and were instrumental in helping it grow from village to town status in 1969.

Ewles Place was named after Ron Ewles who served as mayor of the Town of Martensville from 1980 to 1982.
In an interview, Ron told of starting his tenure with a positive bank balance and very dated equipment. After reinvesting the money in a plan with a better interest rate, approximately 18% at that time, the town was able to buy a new backhoe, grader and fire truck without raising taxes. A more modern computer system was also acquired and installed.
Some things introduced to Martensville for the first time were the use of the tendering process for goods and services by the Town Council, a bank (Royal Bank), and a high school.
While living in Martensville, Ron owned and operated a computer service in Saskatoon and was a charter member of the Martensville Lions Club. He lived in Martensville from 1977 to 1988 with his wife Carol, and their three children.
Harder Court was developed by partnership between DaRon Developments Ltd. and Harder Manufactured Homes. Ron Harder owned Harder Manufactured Homes and was the driving force behind the original development of both of these streets. The development was later taken over by Medallion Homes.
