Strathmore

CPR hamlet named for an earl

Strathmore in brief

Strathmore began as a Canadian Pacific Railway hamlet in 1883, named for Claude Bowes-Lyon, the Earl of Strathmore. Track layers set a record between Strathmore and Cheadle, putting down nine miles of steel in a ten-hour day. The Dominion Lands Act helped fill the prairies around the rail supply stop, and the first school opened in 1908.

Queen Elizabeth, then consort to King George VI, passed through on the Royal Train in May 1939. The old CPR tracks are gone now, subdivided into town lots along the Trans-Canada about 50 kilometres east of Calgary.
