Canadian North-West Irrigation Company Canal

It was irrigation that made the settlement of Raymond a reality. John W. Taylor and Charles Ora Card, representing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, worked with the Galt owned Canadian North-West Irrigation Company to build a canal from Kimball (near Cardston) to what would become Stirling.

As part of this contract, two towns needed to be settled. The canal started in 1898 and by 1899 Magrath and Stirling were founded to fulfill that contract. Irrigation is what made growing sugar beets here possible. In 1901, when Raymond’s Sugar Factory and Townsite were selected, it was partly because the location was roughly halfway between those two irrigation founded communities. When Raymond was founded a section of canal already cut through the south end of town.
