About the Pincher Creek–Nanton area
The area
This page groups listings in Statistics Canada's census division No. 3, Alberta's southwest corner from Nanton to the Montana border. The division covers about 13,700 km² and had about 40,800 people in 2021. Most rural land sits in three municipalities: the Municipal District of Willow Creek No. 26 (about 6,100 people), Cardston County (about 4,900) and the Municipal District of Pincher Creek No. 9 (about 3,200). The main towns are Claresholm (about 3,800), Cardston (about 3,700), Pincher Creek (about 3,600) and Fort Macleod (about 3,300), followed by Magrath and Nanton. The division also takes in the Kainai Nation's Blood 148 reserve (about 1,400 km²), Piikani 147 and Waterton Lakes National Park. Crowsnest Pass, to the west, is in another division.
History
This is Treaty 7 territory and the land of the Blackfoot Confederacy, whose members include the Piikani Nation (Aapatohsipiikani), based at Brocket, and the Kainai Nation. The North-West Mounted Police built Fort Macleod in 1874 to end the American whiskey trade; after a fire in 1906 the town rebuilt its main street in brick and sandstone, now a provincial historic area. Latter-day Saints families from Utah, led by Charles Ora Card, settled Cardston in 1887, and the church dug irrigation works on the St. Mary River in 1898.
Services and access
Pincher Creek Health Centre, Cardston Health Centre, Fort Macleod Health Centre and Claresholm General Hospital all have emergency departments, and so does Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge. Highway 3, the Crowsnest Highway, runs east to west through Pincher Creek and Fort Macleod, and Highways 2, 6 and 22 run north to south. Pincher Creek is about 211 km by road from Calgary and 103 km from Lethbridge. Calgary International Airport is the gateway for scheduled flights. Agriculture, natural gas and wind energy are leading industries around Pincher Creek.
Land and climate
The Castle, Crowsnest and Oldman rivers meet at the Oldman Reservoir. The dam first held back spring runoff in 1991 and stores water for towns, households, industry and irrigation. Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada's fourth national park (1895), covers 505 km² and forms the world's first international peace park with Glacier National Park in Montana.
Before you buy
The municipal district or county sets zoning through its land use bylaw and issues development permits. Building permits are separate: in the MD of Willow Creek they come from agencies accredited under the Safety Codes Act, while the MD of Pincher Creek is itself accredited for building, electrical, gas, plumbing and septic work and contracts the inspections out. Alberta's flood hazard maps (floods.alberta.ca) show the floodway and flood fringe for a 1-in-100-year flood. Wildfire is a known hazard near the mountains: the 2017 Kenow fire burned about 39 percent of Waterton Lakes National Park.
