Pincher Station's name was changed to Pincher City in the early 1900s when it was competing with Pincher Creek for citizenry. A train station was located North-West of the cache site and Pincher City also boasted a 4 story hotel, the Alexandra, and at least one livery stable. Pincher City had the CPR and Pincher Creek had, well, more available and reliable water. In the early 30s, Pincher City renounced its name.
