History
The Town of Taber is conveniently located in Southern
Alberta, Canada. The Town lies within the center of a
rich irrigated, diversified farmland belt, high in heat
units and frost free days, with transportation links to
major markets. Taber's advantageous location also means
it is only a short drive to many scenic amenities - the
Rocky Mountains are located to the west, the Cypress Hills
to the south-east, and Montana and Glacier International
Park to the south. Taber is located only 60 miles (98
Km) north of the United States Border and is situated
32 miles (50 Km) east of Lethbridge, 169 miles (272 Km)
south-east of Calgary and 244 miles (392 Km) south-east
of Banff National Park. The Town lies approximately 2
miles south of the Oldman River which flows into the South
Saskatchewan River and, eventually, north into the Hudson
Bay.
Taber lies within the Municipal District
of Taber #14, in Southern Alberta. It is served by two
(2) primary highways, the crossroads of Crowsnest #3
and #36, as well as the main Medicine Hat - Lethbridge
C.P.R. (Canadian Pacific Railway) line, Greyhound Bus
Lines and truck transportation services.
