In 1904 the thriving village of Edison was located 2 miles south of highway 18 midway between Clyde Corner and Westlock. It was named after inventor Thomas Edison and Mr. John Edgson, one of the first settlers in the area. When the Edmonton, Dunvegan and British Columbia Railway line reached an area three miles west, a new town site was surveyed. In 1912 the land was purchased from William Westgate and William Lockhart and named Westlock after these two men. Several of the buildings from Edison were later moved to Westlock.
