History

In 1882 John Carnduff, J. B. Preston, W.S. and James Barker drew lots for land to adjoin one another, this being the first Carnduff settlement, a mile and half west of the current Town location. In the fall of 1891, the railway came to Carnduff. It was at that time that the settlement was moved to its current location as the railway wanted the town built on CPR land enabling them to sell property. The Hamlet became a village on March 29, 1899. In 1905 the population had grown to the required population to be given Town status. With this came the first mayor, J.B. Preston and the first town council. Let’s just say the rest is history....
