Crossfield is a town in the Calgary Metropolitan Region of Alberta, Canada that is surrounded by Rocky View County. It is located on Highway 2A 43 km (27 mi) north of the City of Calgary.
As a rail station on the Calgary to Edmonton (C&E) line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Crossfield was founded in 1892. Crossfield was named after an engineer with the Canadian Pacific Railway survey crew. By 1904, the community had a post office, a general store, a hotel and a school. In 1906, the first grain elevator opened and Crossfield was incorporated as a village the following year in 1907.[6] In 1980, Crossfield was incorporated as a town.
Crossfield is a member of the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board. The town is within the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor and is growing as a result. Crossfield is north of the city of Airdrie and south of the town of Olds.
