Star, Alberta

In 1892 John Duncan Campbell settled on the Victoria Trail near Beaver Creek. Across the trail, Ed Knowlton built a store and a post office and named it Edna for his daughter. In 1900, the post office was moved to the Campbell house and renamed Star. In 1905, the hamlet was moved building by building to what is now Lamont.

In 1928 the Canadian Pacific Railway was built 1.5 km north of the original Star. The post office was moved there in 1929, and the new hamlet became Star. The community was a major centre for grain transport, supported three stores and a car dealership.   - Lamont County Website
