Cochrane is a town just northwest of Calgary that is named after Senator Matthew Cochrane. This man established the Cochrane Ranch in 1881. The Canadian Pacific Railway granted the town site in 1885 and that’s when it was named after the Senator. However, it wasn’t identified as a town until 1911. It was the general economic boom in the 1970’s that brought many new residents and a great expansion of construction activity.
Today Cochrane is still recognized for its western heritage and unique buildings along the popular main street. With the revitalization of the town’s centennial in 2003, the town became a great tourist attraction, and remained culturally active for residents. The town boasts a steady increasing population over the last decade and continues to grow. (Photo: Wikipedia)
