Gwynne is a hamlet in central Alberta, Canada within the County of Wetaskiwin No.
[2] It is located on Highway 13, approximately 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) east of Wetaskiwin.
When the CPR arrived in 1905 the community was renamed to honor the wife of a railway official.
Julia Maude Schreiber (née Gwynne) was the second wife of Sir Collingwood Schreiber (1831-1908), a railway builder, former chief engineer of the CPR and former federal deputy minister of railways and canals.
It is doubtful that she ever set foot in the hamlet named after her.
