Strathmore is a town located in southern Alberta, Canada that is surrounded by Wheatland County.

The town began as a hamlet for the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) lines that were built in the area in 1883.

The Earl's granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth – as consort to King George VI – later passed through the community on the "Royal Train" in late May 1939.

The passing of the Canadian government's Dominion Lands Act in 1872, encouraging settlement, led to increases in Strathmore's population and its importance as a rail supply stop.

According to Alberta's Municipal Government Act, a town is eligible for city status when it reaches 10,000 residents.

In the 21st century, the town has seen a major growth in commercial development, with many franchise restaurants and a few big-box chain stores opening in the community.

The Strathmore Spartans football team has alumni players throughout the CJFL, Canadian University system and the CFL.
