Maybutt, also known as "New Stirling" or "New Town", is a former locality[2] in the County of Warner No. 5, Alberta, Canada. The community is situated 1 km north of the Village of Stirling just off the CANAMEX Corridor between Lethbridge and the Canada–US border. The community has become a bedroom community to Lethbridge, with many newer acreages being developed in the area. The footprint of Maybutt is defined by its historic boundary roads, Young St. (Range Rd. 195, {undeveloped}), Sunnyside Ave. (Township Rd. 64D), Front St. & Lorne Ave (Range Rd. 194B), and Etzikom Ave (Township Rd. 70). York St., First Ave. and Second Ave. are the only interior streets left of the original street grid of Maybutt (see 'Advertisement poster').
The only original structures remaining currently are a brick home on Second Ave, built around 1910, the other, the Alberta Wheat Pool residence at the corner of York St. & Lorne Ave. The 1922 Ellison grain elevator stands opposite side of the tracks of Range Rd. 194B on Elevator Road, although built as a classic grain Elevator design, the elevator has been heavily modified after suffering a fire in 2013.[3][4]
