The Story Of Eckville

Eckville is named after Arthur Eckford, who came to the Medicine River valley from Ireland in 1902 and gave land for a store and post office in 1905. Many of the area's first settlers were Estonian.

When the railway came through in 1912, the town moved to where it sits today. It became a village in 1921 and a town in 1966, and about 1,014 people live here (2021 Census).
