History of Greencourt
How Greencourt Started
In 1908, a railway line reached a place called Junkins, Alberta. This place is now known as Wildwood. From Junkins, a special path was created. This path led all the way to Green Court.
This new trail was very important. It helped early settlers, known as homesteaders, travel to Green Court. It also made it easier to bring in supplies and goods for the growing community.
