Raley, Alberta

[2] The Alberta Pacific Elevator at Raley was built as a 35,000 bushel elevator and is likely the oldest standing elevator in Alberta[3] constructed shortly after the St. Mary Railway line (succeeded by Canadian Pacific Railway) was constructed in 1900 from Stirling to Cardston and finished in 1902.

Then in 1972 the elevator was taken over by the Alberta Wheat Pool but was closed very shortly afterwards and taken over by the Hutterite colony at Raley.

In 1924 the Raley Hutterite colony took over the A.G. Robertson elevator and in 1940 the Alberta Pacific Grain Co. took over the Sunny belt elevator, by this time owned by the N. Bawlf Grain Co.

Both elevators went to the Alberta Wheat Pool in 1972.

The Sunny belt and A.g. Robertson elevators were demolished sometime after 1972.
