There are many cement foundations and sidewalks still found scattered around the town site, including the remnants of the old bank vault to the former Municipality Office that was moved to Consul.

Prior to January 1, 1952, Vidora was incorporated as a village, and was restructured as an unincorporated community under the jurisdiction of the Rural Municipality of Reno No.

[5] Like most towns throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan, Vidora began as a small parcel of land owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Like many towns of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, such as Govenlock, Senate, and Whiskey Gap, Vidora had a fair amount of bootleggers that came into the area to smuggle rum, alcohol, and whisky across the border during prohibition in the United States.

To mark the end of its long prosperous life, Vidora's five grain elevators closed and were torn down sometime in the 1970s or 1980s.
