Geocache Description:


The Town of Stavely is a thriving town of around 500 residents and growing monthly! We are located about halfway between Calgary and Lethbridge on Highway No. 2. Situated in what Stavelyites like to think of as Alberta's "Banana Belt", it is an ideal ranching and farming area with rolling prairies to the east and foothills to the west. The Town is located in the Municipal District of Willow Creek No. 26, in Southern Alberta. It is 104 km. from Calgary and Lethbridge.

Although small in numbers, the people of Stavely and area are proud of their friendliness and community spirit.

The Town was named for Alexander Staveley Hill, Managing Director of the Oxley Ranching Company which was formed in 1882. With the influx of settlers, the box-car stop and tent-town progressed to the status of a village in 1903 and to a town in 1912.
