Something wonderful about Okotoks

Let’s dive into the history of Okotoks. First, the name Okotoks comes from the word “ohkotok,” which is the Blackfoot First Nation word for “rock.” Many people believe that the town earned its name due to Big Rock, the biggest glacial erratic in the area (it is located roughly 7 kilometres west of the town of Okotoks). Prior to Europeans settling in the area, First Nations peoples used Big Rock as a market to find the river crossing in town. Many of these tribes were nomadic, following buffalo herds for food. However, when Europeans arrived and began exploring the area, they also started to erect buildings, the first of which was a trading post. Soon, more and more trading posts popped up along what became known as the Macleod Trail. Throughout the late nineteenth century, the community of Okotoks started to grow even more due to the establishment of a sawmill.
