Lemberg was founded by ethnic German and Ukrainian immigrants from Lviv, which in the German language was called Lemberg. Lviv was then part of Austria-Hungary and is now in Ukraine. The settlers came as part of the Great Economic Emigration away from Galicia and Lodomeria, which began in the mid to late 1800s. The town took its name from that city. Its first post office opened on July 15, 1904.
Over the years the community built several churches, and as of 2011 it had four: Saint Michael's Roman Catholic Church, Trinity Lutheran Church, Grace United Church and the Pentecostal Assembly. A Baptist church once stood just south of town, and only its cemetery remained by 2011.
Lemberg is home to North Valley High School for grades 7 to 12, while younger students attend elementary school in neighbouring Neudorf. Historic sites include the Weissenberg Roman Catholic Public School #49, the Pool Grain Elevator and a war memorial cenotaph. The town has a baseball park, campgrounds, a rink for skating and curling, a community hall complex, a playground and walking trails with a Mercy Grotto. James Garfield Gardiner, who served as premier of Saskatchewan in 1926 to 1929 and again in 1934 to 1935, is listed among its notable people.
