Description
Long ago Stoney and Sarcee Indian lodges were the only dwellings in the western foothills. This area was called "Paradise" by the Indians and remained undisturbed until the mid 1800's. Then, wagons crossed the prairies bringing families to this untamed land. Around 1890, large cattle ranches were created, a few of which survived and flourished. Because Alberta was promoted as the "Last Best West," people continued to migrate across the country.
