Cromer, Manitoba is a village in the Rural Municipality of Pipestone, in south-western Manitoba, Canada, in a region called Westman.
In 1884, the Post Office was opened at LSD 26-8-28W and was known as Elm Valley. The name was changed to Cromer when the Canadian Northern Railway came through in 1907.
The community is situated alongside Pipestone Creek in the Pipestone Valley. The valley was formed almost 20,000 years ago during the melting of the last glaciation. The melting waters formed the Pipestone Spillway, which is the valley seen today. The village sits at the intersections of Provincial Roads 256 and 255 and consists of several businesses, residences, and churches. There is also an ice rink and a 9-hole golf course.
Enbridge Line 2B starts just north of the village at the Tundra Oil & Gas plant.
