A Little About Magrath...

Magrath was established in 1899 by settlers sent by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Utah and Idaho. These Mormon settlers were recruited by the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company to construct irrigation works in the areas. The settlers were paid cash and land in the town.

This was the first major irrigation work in Canada and was made possible by the settlers' experience withe the extensive irrigation projects undertaken by their church in Utah and Idaho.
