They were developed in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan starting in 1959, by cross-breeding stock of the British Aberdeen Angus and Shorthorn breeds, They have a spotted or speckled pattern for which it is named derived from a single bull with the color-pointed markings of the British White Park.

The Speckle Park was officially recognised as an 'evolving breed' in 1995, and received full 'distinct breed' recognition from the Canadian government in 2006. Some have been exported to Australia, to Ireland and to the United Kingdom. Their numbers are low, and in Canada they are an endangered breed.
