The Piegan–Carway Border Crossing connects the town of Babb, Montana with Cardston, Alberta. It is reached by U.S. Route 89 on the American side and Alberta Highway 2 on the Canadian side. The crossing was established in 1925 with the completion of the Cardston Highway. Canada Customs official Herbert Legg created the name Carway by combining the words Cardston and Highway^[1]. The small village of Carway, Alberta has all but vanished, with the Carway School closing in 1954.^[2]

The highway connects Calgary with Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, and the crossing is the third-busiest in Montana. Twenty homes for US border officials are near the station.^[3] The US replaced its old log cabin-style border station, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, with the current facility in 2003. Canada Border Services Agency continues to operate out of the brick border station that was built in 1954.
