Know Your History: Magrath was established in 1899 by workers recruited by Charles A. Magrath of the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company. Under arrangement with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS, Mormon) in Salt Lake City, Utah, immigrants were advised that they could come to Canada and that work would be provided digging the 'Main Canal' (mostly by hand) from the US Border to Lethbridge. Half the pay that they would receive would be in money and the other half in land. This massive irrigation project also produced a flood of immigration from Utah and Idaho as the Mormon church strongly promoted settlement in southern Alberta.
