Information about Strathmore (from Wikipedia.org):

Strathmore is a town located along the Trans-Canada Highway in southern Alberta, Canada, 40 kilometres (25 mi) east of the city of Calgary, within the boundaries of Wheatland County.

The town began as a hamlet for the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) lines that were built in the area in 1883. The CPR named the town after one of its benefactors – Claude Bowes-Lyon, the Earl of Strathmore. The Earl's granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth – as consort to King George VI – later passed through the community on the "Royal Train" in June, 1939. In 1905 the CPR moved the Hamlet of Strathmore four miles north to its current location.

A track laying record was made between Strathmore and Cheadle when the railroad was built. In one hour one mile (1.6 km) of steel was laid and, at the end of the ten-hour working day, the rails were laid to Cheadle, 9 miles (15 km) for a record. Efforts by the Canadian government to develop western Canada led to increases in Strathmore's population and its importance as a rail supply stop.

The CPR railroad tracks are now gone, the land having been subdivided.

The population of the Town of Strathmore according to its 2010 municipal census is 12,139,[3][4] a 2.5% increase over its 2009 municipal census population of 11,838.[5] At its current population, Strathmore is one of the largest towns in the province and is eligible for city status. According to Alberta's Municipal Government Act, a town is eligible for city status when it reaches 10,000 residents.[6]

In 2006, Strathmore had a population of 10,225 living in 3,943 dwellings, a 34.2% increase from 2001. The town had a land area of 15.59 km2 (6.0 sq mi) and a population density of 655.7 /km2 (1,698.3/sq mi.)
