Biographical history
Located in the boundary of Township 37, Range 18, West of the Fourth Meridian (37-18-W4), the County of Stettler No. 6 in cludes the following urban municipalities: Town of Stettler, the Village of Big Valley, the Village of Botha, the Village of Donalda, the Village of Gadsby, the Summer Village of Rochon Sands, and the Summer Village of White Sands. The County of Stettler No. 6 also includes the following hamlets/urban service areas: Byemoor, Endiang, Erskine, Nevis, and Red Willow. In 1883, the Northwest Territorial Council passed the Municipal Ordinance, allowing for the establishment of local government areas. In response to this ordinance, many townships -- typically comprised of 36 sections of land -- organized to form herd districts (1883), fire districts (1886), and statute labor districts (1887). In 1897, all three ordinances amalgamated with the passing of the Local Improvement Ordinance. Local improvement districts maintained public works such as road building, management of fires, noxious fumes, and animals. A 1903 amendment of the Local Improvement Ordinance allowed local improvement districts to include between 3 and 6 townships. In 1912, with the passing of the Rural Municipality Act, the Province of Alberta created the Department of Municipal Affairs. The Act allowed 9 townships to apply for incorporation as a rural municipality as long as the land contained 1 person/square mile. Under this provision some Local Improvement Districts organized as municipalities while others chose to continue as local improvement districts. In 1918, the Government of Alberta required the organization of all local improvement districts into municipalities with the Municipal Districts Act. The Municipal History of the County of Stettler No. 6 began when the Municipal District of Success No. 336 formed. In 1943, the Municipal Districts of Success No. 336, Vimy No. 337, Dublin No. 366 and Waverly No. 367 merged to form the Municipal District of Stettler No. 336. In 1945, the Municipal District of Stettler No. became the Municipal District of Stettler No. 54. In 1955, the Municipal District of Stettler No. 54 became the County of Stettler No. 6.
