It was originally called New York by the French Canadians who settled there. The post office was opened in 1904, and it was named after Pope Pius X, born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto. Some have claimed that the community had been named after Andrea del Sarto, a noted Italian Renaissance painter.[3]
Sarto has two churches, St. Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church and Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church.[4][5]
