The town was on the Canadian National Railway Conquest Subdivision. Rail service first arrived in 1914, and the town prospered to a population of over 300, until the construction of an oil pipelines made rail transport less viable for the transportation of Turner Valley crude oil. By 1980 there was little left of the original town site [4]
