Craigmyle is a hamlet in Alberta, Canada within Starland County.[2] It is located between the towns of Delia and Hanna. It was named in 1912 by a Canadian Northern Railway ahead of the train's arrival in April 1914.[3] The name is said to be based on a Scottish estate.[4] Previously incorporated as a village, Craigmyle dissolved to become a hamlet on 1 January 1972.[5]
