The Town of Strathmore has quite a history in southern Alberta. Originally a hamlet set up by the Canadian Pacific Railway, it gained notoriety on July 28, 1883. Canadian Pacific Railway building crew manually laid 14 Kilometers of track across the prairies to Cheadle, Alberta in 10 hours which set a record. Unfortunately those tracks are gone due to developments, but the record still stands. The current location of Strathmore is now just a few kilometers north of the original hamlet.
As an agriculture town, the price of land has always been an asset. In the early days, land for sale in Strathmore went for $12 to $15 per acre. Now, $45, 000 per acre is the going rate.
